This Weekend at RAM

THIS WEEK
The best arts market of all time, ever™ is back this weekend with a major promotion. The Toyota Farm to Table Tour will be an amazing day for all of us. Some of the city's top chefs will be showcasing their culinary art utilizing our RAM farmers. Urban Jacksonville interviews one of the chefs lists the chefs in recent posts. RAM was selected as one of the few markets in the country to be a part of this promotion and we are super proud. There is so much to see as well as lots of free (sample sized) eats from these superb restaurants: Chew, Uptown Market, Eleven South, Taverna, Pastiche, Richard Nunn, Biscottis, Burrito Gallery, Orsay, Cafe Du Marche, Sweet Pete, and Bistro AIX.
 
Checking out the chef's and their farms, taking a Hybrid (Prius or Highlander) test drive, and earning a free herb start will be a lot of fun Saturday, but it is not nearly all you can do!

In addition to all the great art, food and crafts, be sure to stay and enjoy Dr. Wayne Wood's always phenomenal 17 ring circus of entertainment (including Dot Wilder and world record magicians and jugglers!), the Jacksonville University Lacrosse Teams and the Jaguars will be selling tickets.  And this is the last weekend for Project Backpack. Please don't forget to bring your new backpacks and gift cards. You can win Jags tix AND a parking pass!

COMING UP
The holidays will soon be upon us. Isn't it time to start purchasing those gifts?

VOLUNTEERS
We always need new volunteers! Shannon has a new e-mail, so update your address book and while you're at it, let her know when you want to join the best volunteer group in the nation! Our vols get the only currently available RAM t-shirts and invites to exclusive special events. Not to mention the awesome feeling one gets helping us pull off the best thing to happen since the river.
