Sizzlin’ Summer Visits Vegreville Farmers Market Rosanne Fortier News Correspondent As part of the Sizzlin’ Summer’s themed week for Farming and Gardening, the children visited Vegreville Farmers’ Market on August 16. Coordinator for Sizzlin’ Summer, Jenna Caharel said the children did a scavenger hunt which Manager of Vegreville Farmers’ Market, Marlene Giebelhaus set-up and printed off where children had to find out how many Ukrainian foods are in the market, how many vegetables and baked goods there are, and how people become a part of the farmers’ market? Vendors, Lorraine Statler, and Stefania Jarzabek donated some baked goods for all the kids to enjoy. “This is a good way for the kids to get out in the community and to get

them to see some faces of people who sell things. It’s good to let the kids know the farmers’ market is here every single week and if they want to come back with their parents, they can. I think it is just a fun experience for them,” Caharel explained. Giebelhaus added she feels it is important for children to know where vegetables come from. You don’t just go to the store and buy them. They discover where to get good fresh produce. Also, with the baking, people make things you wouldn’t normally find in a store and at this market, people get to speak to the baker and vendors. “I think it is important for children to find this out and maybe go home and tell their mom and dad what they learned and found at this market.”
Experiment Explorers at Library Rosanne Fortier News Correspondent
Science is so mysterious. There were 15 children from five to eight years old who discovered how amazing creating science experiments can be at Experiment Explorers at Vegreville Centennial Library on August 15. The first experiment the children
learned how to make was Color Changing Flowers where Library Programmer, Calina Sokalski asked the children what color they wanted to dye their flower and then she placed the flower in a vase with food coloring in water. If a person cut flowers at an angle, they seem to observe the water better. Then a person just has to wait
and the flower will eventually drink the water with food coloring in it and turn to that color. The next experiment involved making Elephant Toothpaste outside of the library where Summer Program Assistant, Rylan Langkow showed the children how by using different ingredients with yeast, they could

create a large tube of toothpaste. This project went over the container at certain points. After this, the children learned how to make Fizzy Dough and Snow Storm in a Jar. This program was part of the TD Summer Reading Program at the Library.
