These guys rock!!

⭐️VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT⭐️: You can always count on the Johns😎! Meet John Langdon (left) and John Kostelanski (right) who have been volunteering for the markets for 4 and 3 years, respectively 🎉. They both love helping out the community, and seeing the local residents & kids happy about the market activities.

From lifting to fixing things at the market, both Johns are a crucial part of our Set-Up Team, and we thank you! We couldn't do it without people like you!

We are so grateful to have Maryann come out and make our community event special!

Every West Ward Market in the Month of June!!

If you missed the chance to get your free, custom, Six-Word Poem by Artist Maryann Riker at last weekend's Easton Arts Tour... we have GOOD NEWS! There are more opportunities for you to get one.

Catch her on Thursday evenings in June at the West Ward Market at 10th & Pine Streets from 5-8 pm. Just look for her classic typewriter, walk right up and tell her about yourself. 🩷 Her appearances are part of the Poetry in the Wild Program, a community project.

We've said it once, we'll say it one thousand times. This is a fantastic, free resource for our community's kids.

Please check it out!!

Hey West Ward families & Easton community 👋🥁
The West Ward Drumline is holding another free open rehearsal on Sunday, May 31, from 5–7pm, and we’d love to see some new kids come check it out!

The evening starts with a free beginner-friendly drum lesson at 5pm, followed by rehearsal and a march to the park if the weather cooperates. Drums will be provided, and every kid who participates will receive a free set of drumsticks.

The goal of the drumline is simple: give West Ward kids a fun, positive space to learn music, make friends, and build community together. No experience is needed, just energy and willingness to try something new. All experience levels welcome!

If you have a child who loves music, movement, or just needs a good outlet this spring, come hang with us!
