2008 Artist Poster The poster will be offered for sale at the Community Farmers Market Information Booth. All proceeds from the sale of the poster are used to fund the ongoing operations and activities of the nonprofit market. The purchase of a poster not only supports local agriculture and our local economy, but also provides a valuable connection between two of the great treasures in Lewis County – Agriculture and Art.
The Community Farmers Market is dedicated to showcasing local products... including those from local artists!
We were delighted to debut our second annual poster featuring an original image donated by local artist Lisa Telling Kattenbraker.

Harvest Dinner On September 17, 2007, over 55 community members joined the vendors from the Community Farmers Market for an evening of good food, good friends, and a celebration of our local market and wonderful community!!
The first, of an annual event, was held at Mackinaw's Restaurant in downtown Chehalis and included fantastic appetizers, a delicious dinner, multiple drawings for market products, and great conversation. It was an unforgettable night and a successful fundraiser for the nonprofit market.
Thank you to all that made the evening possible. We look forward to another great event in 2008. Check back for more details!
