Overland Park Farmers Market Adds Free Music To The Mix

The Downtown Overland Park Farmer’s Market is a great place to get your hands on reasonably priced produce, herbs and plants, but this summer it’s also a great place to hear some free music. I can’t think of a better way to spend your Saturday morning than by taking a leisurely stroll around the local market and hearing some great music. The farmers market plays live music from 10:30 am – 12:30 pm and goes from May – October on most Saturday mornings. Check the calendar for more details

Kansas City To Welcome Trader Joe’s

Ever heard of Two Buck Chuck Wine? Interested in cheap organic food? Well Kansas Citians won’t have to wait much longer because according to the Kansas City Star Dollars & Sense Blog, Trader Joe’s is coming to Kansas City! According to the blog, sources say the company hasn’t selected a site yet but has looked in the 135th and State Line area on the Missouri side, because of those pesky Kansas liquor laws.

According to the FAQ section on the Trader Joe website Trader Joe’s differentiates themselves from regular supermarkets because at Trader Joe’s, you won’t find a lot of branded items. Instead, you’ll find unconventional and interesting products in the Trader Joe’s label as well as everyday basics. We buy products we think are winners and that’ll find a following among our customers.

Or could it also be all those Hawaiian shirts? Either way, I’m excited to see this company making it’s way to Kansas City in the near future.
