Convincing a goat to chew through the ceremonial ribbon to open the Kimberley Farmers’ Market last Thursday wasn’t as easy as it looked. Luckily Mayor Ron McRae brought along scissors.

The first Kimberley Farmers' Market drew huge crowds for its inaugural evening on Howard Street.  “Wildsight Kimberley Cranbrook is thrilled with the fantastic kick off the first ever Kimberley Farmers’ Market,” said market coordinator Erna Jensen-Shill. “We would like to thank the market advisory committee, volunteers, vendors and the community and visitors who made our first market such a success! It would seem that Kimberley is ready to  embrace a farmers’ market of its own, and we look forward to seeing folks come out every Thursday evening through September 11th on Howard Street!”
