The special feature at the Saturday, April 2, Danbury Winter Market is old farm tools … the stories they could tell, the secrets they might reveal.

Tom Curren, local historian and appreciator of farm tools and all things old, will tell their stories at 11 AM downstairs in the Grange Hall. The display will be available for viewing during the Winter Market hours.

At the market, you can find a variety of farm products, specialty foods, and unique crafts as well a lunch and breakfast from the Blazing Star Bistro. The market runs every first Saturday, November through May, from 9 AM to 1 PM in the Blazing Star Grange Hall at 15 North Road in Danbury.
