There’s nothing quite like Markets in the Summer, and here at the Museum, we couldn’t agree more! That’s why we have decided to spend Wednesday night at the Sherwood Park Farmers Market, bringing you interesting artifacts, recipes, and stories of the County.

​

This week’s topic is beekeeping, and we can’t wait to share what the BUZZ is all about!

Stop by the Market at Emerald's Hill between 2-7 pm Wednesday, July 29th.
