(Atlantic) Area residents will have a unique opportunity to connect with their local government representatives while enjoying a fun evening at the farmer’s market. The event will feature “Local Government BINGO,” live music, food trucks, and family-friendly activities on Thursday, September 4, from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at Produce in the Park.
Visitors can meet representatives from a wide range of local offices, including the City Council, Mayor, County Board of Supervisors, County Assessor, County Treasurer, County Recorder, Atlantic Parks Commission, County Conservation Board, Planning & Zoning, Board of Adjustments, the County Local Food Policy Council, and the Atlantic School Board.

A highlight of the evening will be Local Government BINGO. Participants who complete their BINGO card will be entered into a drawing for a $50 Farmers’ Market gift card (for ages 18+). Kids can take part in a special version of BINGO just for them.
Additionally, there is a Bounce House, as well as a wide selection of vendors offering fresh produce, local meats, farm-fresh eggs, honey, baked goods, flowers, handmade crafts, soaps, plants, and more, including food trucks and music by Sarah Selders.
