The Genoa Area Chamber of Commerce is excited to introduce The Genoa Homegrown and Handmade

Fresh Farmers Market, which will feature local farmers, live music, children’s activities, tastings and much more.

The market will be held in the Genoa City parking lot, as well as on South Genoa Street in downtown Genoa. Markets will be on the last Saturday of the month and will begin May 30 and run through Sept. 26.

The 2015 summer market dates are May 30, June 27, July 25,

Aug. 29 and Sept. 26. Hours are 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Wouldn’t you rather stroll amidst outdoor stalls of fresh produce on a sunny day than roll your cart around a grocery store with artificial lights and piped in music? Coming to the farmers market makes shopping a pleasure rather than a chore.

The market is a community hub – a place to meet up with friends, bring the children, or just get a taste of small-town life in Genoa.

From savoring produce at the peak of freshness to meeting the people who grow your food, there are countless reasons to support farmers markets. Buying from your local farmer allows you to support local agriculture. This means the food you are eating comes from nearby, and does not require us to waste lots of energy and petroleum to ship the food halfway around the world.

You are eating food in your own environment, where it has perfectly created nutrients for your specific climate and region. You also are supporting the environment by reducing the usage of fossil fuels.

Need another reason to shop at a farmer’s market ... It is healthy. There’s just no way around it; eating fresh, locally grown fruits and veggies is great for your health. Among other treats, you can buy yourself some local honey. It has just the right components for allergy prevention in this neck of the woods, not to mention it’s tasty.

Farmers markets are just plain fun for the whole family. Meeting your local community is an excellent way to feel connected to the world around you, increasing health for body, mind and spirit. We hope to see you at one of our markets this summer.

To find out more about the Genoa Area Chamber of Commerce Farmers Markets or be a vendor at one of the markets, visit www.genoaareachamber.com and go to the events tab or stop by the chamber office at 111 N. Sycamore St.

Midwest Museum Of Natural History’sRockin’ For The Reptiles Festival

Get ready to rock for the Midwest Museum of Natural History’s Rockin’ for the Reptiles! On June 27th at 11 am-3 pm, this outdoor family-friendly summer festival will be the talk of the town, located at the corner of Somonauk St. and Elm St in downtown Sycamore, IL. There’s something for everyone at this event: live music, delicious food and desserts, a bounce house crafts, games for all ages, and of course, LIVE reptiles! Get hands on while learning about what makes a reptile special; Friends of Scales Reptile Rescue and the Chicago Herpetological Society will bring amazing reptiles including tortoises, turtles, lizards, and snakes! Visit with the Museum’s fan favorites as they stop by for a picture in the selfie-booth, where you can enter your selfie into a contest; win prizes like a free birthday party at the Museum. Rockin’ for the Reptiles is $6/person, and will include admission to the Midwest Museum for the day with your Rockin’ wristband!

Dance the afternoon away with the reptiles as you support a great cause. The Museum is the home to

approximately 30 live animals, each of whom are rescues. Museum staff and volunteers take care of the animals in every way, from feeding to training them! All of the money from this incredible event will go towards taking care of the live animals and creating educational programming around them. Every year, the Museum welcomes approximately 1,500 students on fieldtrips and special programs who learn from interacting with these live animals.

Check out our calendar at www.mmnh.org to learn about more of our programming and events!

Local Summer Events!

Fireflies are often seen lighting up the night sky on warm evenings. They are particularly abundant during the summer months. One reason that fireflies glow is to attract mates. Males will flash, and females will respond to mates they find interesting. Fireflies also may glow to avoid predators. The luciferase enzyme in firefly cells causes a chemical reaction that stimulates light, a phenomenon called bioluminescence. Fireflies are filled with lucibufagins, a poor-tasting chemical that turns off predators from attacking the blinking bug. Some fireflies cannot light up at all and use pheromones to attract mates. Fireflies can be fun to catch and release and also beneficial to have around. In the larval stage, fireflies will eat destructive insects. Adult fireflies may feed on nectar and could help to pollinate plants.
