Westerville musician Phil Franck will be our Musical Guest at the Aug. 17 Westerville Saturday Farmers Market.

We’re not sure what Franck will queue up – the talented instrumentalist plays the fiddle, banjo and accordion, among other instruments – but we’re sure it will be a great addition to the Market!

Phil is a member of the popular local Celtic music act, The Drowsy Lads, and father to two other members – John and Josh Franck.

Enjoy his tunes as you peruse our producer market of local fruits and vegetables, meats, farm goods and backed goods produced within 80 miles of Westerville. Or grab breakfast from one of our great food trucks or prepared food vendors as you enjoy his show and peruse the farmers’ booths.

Brought to you by Uptown Westerville Inc., the Saturday Farmers Market is staged from 9 a.m. to noon each Saturday through Sept. 28 in the parking lots behind City Hall, 21 S. State St.

Other highlights at our Aug. 17 Market will include —
