  Farmers Market Saturdays

 Last week we had nine vendors that had a variety of products from eggs, honey to even fudge.

No need to buy potatoes or eggs in the grocery store when you can get them fresh from the farm. Not only that, but you are supporting someone in our community. Maybe they are using the funds to save for a pageant program, a trip, or even just gas. The money stays local. 

The term egg money used originated when farm wives took care of the chickens on the farm. She got to keep that money to use as she wished. It didn't go to pay for regular bills, but for that something extra, maybe a night out with her husband. Or lunch with the ladies. Egg money counts. Egg money makes a difference.

The same can be said of honey. The Bee Bum is from Adams Nebraska and she comes every week with all kinds of flavored honey, creamed honey, lip balm and honey-baked cookies. 

Don't forget the Tea Toad, which is my little tea business. Get a glass of Iced Tea, and pick up cold brew kits to make it at home.

Dear Avoca friends near and far!

The Avoca Town Hall has been a big part of the Village for many years. Without it many people would be at a loss on where to gather for village events and many other occasions.

The last couple of years have been a struggle due to covid cancellations, funds are short. The Hall is in major need of repairs. Board members are working on raising money to help cover the cost of repairs that need to be made.

1. New Roof
2. Masonry work on the front of the building
3. Replacement of Deck
4. General Maintenance.

If you would like to help in our efforts to save the Town Hall we
would very much appreciate any monetary donation towards our goal of
$25,000.

How to donate:
