ALDEN - On July 28, “Dark Road Duo” will bring their unique harmonica-based Americana music to Alden from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m..

The winning raffle ticket for a fabulous basket of Alden-area goodies, valued at more than $1,000, will be drawn at approximately 12:45 p.m..
Remember to buy tickets either at the Market or at several locations around Alden – Alden Pharmacy, Carbone’s Pizzeria, or the Chamber of Commerce office. Time is running out.
Non-winners of this basket will be entered into an exciting “second chance” raffle for a delightful picnic basket donated by Elizabeth Harris of Country Kitchen & Gifts, one of the market’s long-standing vendors.
The basket includes a a beautiful handmade afghan, several jams and jellies and assorted gourmet teas and cocoas; it is valued at approximately $175.
