Seacoast Growers’ Association is pleased to announce its upcoming Senior Day at the Portsmouth farmers’ market on Saturday, September 22.  This celebration of appreciation for the elders of our community (age 62 and older) will take place during the regularly scheduled market, which is held every Saturday in the City Hall parking lot on Junkins Avenue from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.  
 
In addition to the market’s bounty of local produce, meats and cheeses, as well as delicious prepared foods and fine crafts, participating vendors will offer all seniors in attendance a 10% discount and select giveaways.  SGA’s demonstration committee will also provide an array of senior-specific services.  Details remain to be determined, but such services may include youths volunteering to carry bags for seniors, an explanation of the state’s senior nutrition program and farmers’ market coupons, and free chair massages.  Suggestions of Senior Day activities and applications to participate in this nonprofit event are welcome; contact demonstration committee volunteer Terry Laney via email at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it .
 
The guest musical act at Senior Day this year is the ever-popular American Flyer, a bluegrass band playing contemporary tunes, originals and covers … bring your tapping toes and dancing shoes!
