Summertime sees arrival of local farmers markets

By Frank Prager Big Z Media Summertime always heralds the arrival of the local area farmers markets and their inviting array of fresh food and handcrafted products.

The quality of locally grown plants, produce and food items along with the intriguing variety of handcrafted products makes shopping a farmers market a different adventure every time.

Alton Main Street Farmers’ and Artisans’

Market, now in its 30th year, kicked off on May 7 and is one of the biggest in the area. The market in Alton is held every Saturday morning from 8 am - noon in the parking lot at the corner of Landmarks Boulevard and Henry Street in Alton. Information for anyone interested in becoming a vendor can be found on the events page at downtownalton.com.

Bethalto Farmers Market starts its fourth year on June 5. The market is held every Sunday from 9 am - 1 pm

through the second week of October at Bethalto Central Park located at 213 North Prairie Street.

Roxana Farmers Market is a mainstay in the area and is held at the Roxana Dads Club at 417 Roxana Avenue every Monday from 4 - 8 pm from the first Monday of July through the end of September. Anyone interested in participating as a vendor can contact Overton directly at 618254-1166, extension 1 or by emailing her at mayor@ southroxana.org.

Now in its 15th year, Wood River Farmers Market is held every Thursday from 4 pm until dusk from July through September.

Sponsored by the Wood River Parks and Recreation Department, the market is held in the parking lot behind the shops on Ferguson Avenue between 1st and 2nd Streets.

Also celebrating its 15th year is the Jerseyville Farmers Market. Held Tuesday evenings from 4 - 7 pm, it starts on June 21 and runs until September 27. It

is located in the parking lot of Outrageous Outdoors, located at 902 South State Street.

Whitney McIver is the special events coordinator for the city. She explains a unique feature of the market is that local businesses stay open late the last Tuesday of the month. “People can go to the market and then go shopping or have dinner or a drink afterwards,” she says.

Information about the Jerseyville Farmers Market is available on Facebook.

Vendors can register online by going to jcba-il.us/market.

“We have a big variety of items,” says McIver. “If people haven’t been here, they should definitely come check it out.”

New to the area this year is East Alton Farmers Market. It was started

by Woody Peterson of Peterson’s Family Farms in East Alton and is held in the parking lot of Eastgate Shopping Center every Tuesday from 3 - 7 pm. It started April 19 and will run through October 25. 3

SECRET DINER Great food and constant evolution

By Bill Roseberry Big Z Media It’s inevitable that by the time this review releases about this complex in northwestern Madison County it has probably grown again.

This place has become an institution in this community with its monster layout, great food and entertainment and constant evolution. Enjoy a chill night on the patio when weather allows, go inside the giant new addition for drinks, food and some live music, or head to the classic neighborhood bar portion that stood prior to expansion.

There’s something for everyone.

You’ll find a large paved parking lot on one side of the restaurant. If that’s full, travel to the other side, past the small banquet hall they also own, and grab a spot in that smaller parking area.

On my recent visit with a group of buddies we set up shop in the huge, newer addition. There are long wooden tables situated around the outside walls with stools to pony up to them. A large horseshoe bar stands out in the middle of the room with chairs all around it. A plethora of televisions fill the room, mainly featuring sporting events for your entertainment. There are also some smaller tables in the front portion of the dining

room.

My friends and I grabbed one of the high wooden tables along the outside wall and got a gander at a menu. This is where you’ll start to fall in love.

One person in our group kicked our experience off with a sampler platter from the appetizer menu. This features mozzarella sticks, mini tacos, toasted ravioli and fried mushrooms and there is plenty to share.

I have to focus on the mozzarella sticks. First of all they are misnamed, they should be renamed mozzarella logs because they are gargantuan. They are some of the biggest I’ve ever seen and they are popping with flavor. They are ooey-gooey delicious and mouthwatering.

The toasted ravioli and mushrooms were standouts, too. The mushrooms had a homemade vibe to them and the ravioli was bursting with flavor.

Trying not to stuff myself too much on apps, I saved room for a creation from the awesome build-your-ownburger portion of the menu.

I actually traded in the hamburger for a grilled chicken breast, which I then dressed with tomato, caramelized onions, bacon, guacamole and cheddar cheese. It arrived on an

Overall: artisan bun which was doughy and delicious and a great vehicle for the super tender and juicy chicken. The guacamole and caramelized onions added a great flavor punch also.

It was accompanied by a side of steak fries, which were great, featuring a hearty taste as well. They were super tender and not too salty either.

There are so many more choices on the menu, too.

Choose between salads, chicken wings, fish options, a ton of sandwiches, steaks, pasta and pizzas.

Check out stuff like their signature shrimp salad with a habanero ranch dressing, wings with sauces like stingin’ honey garlic or Korean pepper, fish tacos, a giant pork tenderloin sandwich, or an 8-ounce sirloin, or the 12-ounce ribeye. Pizza selections like the bacon cheeseburger or the Philly cheesesteak surely won’t disappoint either.

Of course there are a slew of adult beverages

I’m intrigued by the snickerdoodle cocktail featuring Rumchata, butterscotch liquor, amaretto, a housemade cinnamon sugar and caramel sauce rim and a cinnamon stick.

I washed all my yummy food down with a classic Blue Moon with an orange slice on my visit. 3

Food truck park opens in downtown Alton Flock Food Truck Park officially opened for business on May 12. Flock is a family-friendly venue downtown Alton built to bring friends and family together for delicious, unique food, outdoor fun, and lasting memories.

Flock is the brainchild of Jayne Simmons, president of AltonWorks and Alton resident. Simmons has dreamed of opening a food truck park for quite some time – a place where friends and families can go to pick up a quick, delicious meal and just spend time together.

“This is a great day for the people of Alton and for the future of Alton,” said Simmons. “So many of us believe the City of Alton is perfectly positioned for growth and opportunity for people looking for a friendly, diverse, and interesting place to live, work and play. I hope people see the opening of Flock as another great step forward to helping this community to realize its potential.”

Located at 210 Ridge between Broadway and Landmarks Blvd. and adjacent to the Jacoby Arts Center, Flock will serve people from around Alton and the region with a variety of culinary choices sure to please people of all ages.

Flock will periodically host food trucks for lunch and dinner with a growing rotation throughout the summer. Specialty cocktails and a rotating draft beer menu will be featured at Flock, to ensure there is

always something new.

People can also stop off at their favorite local eatery or bring food from home and enjoy the Flock bar and outdoor dining, as well.

Flock is owned and operated by Laura and Matt Windisch who also own the wildly successful Stacked Burger Bar in St. Louis. They moved to Alton in 2018 from St. Louis in large part because of the city’s revitalization currently underway.

Earlier in her career, Laura worked at a tapas restaurant and loved the idea of making a meal by sharing small plates together. Overhearing the conversations about the food and drinks around the table brought her so much joy. She believes the same experience can be had at Flock. Grab a cocktail or beer, maybe an item or two from each truck, share and talk about your favorites!

Matt has a background in music and believes the world is a better place with lots of musical sounds. He and Laura love the idea of featuring local bands to make for a fun night out.

Throughout the year, Flock will host holiday themed events, maker’s markets, comedy nights and lots of entertainment to keep people coming back for more.

Family, faith keys to GRP | Wegman’s success

By Mike Adams Big Z Media It was a beautiful day. Tom DeClue was out on his regular morning jog when a thought dropped into his mind. It was what you might call a “still small voice” telling him, “You need to buy

Wegman Electric.” It was an impression he couldn’t get past, though Wegman was not for sale at the time.

Tom finally made the call.

One year to the day later, the deal was closed and GRP | Wegman became a reality. This was a historical

expansion, as there were no other mechanical contractors in the region that also would offer electrical contracting, but those kinds of bold business moves, inspired by faith, were the family legacy of GRP. GRP began with Tom

DeClue’s grandfather, an eighth-grade educated farm boy who started the business as an HVAC company and eventually grew to about six employees.

Sierra Club Illinois Three Rivers Project celebrates success of Earth Month events The Three Rivers Project of Sierra Club Illinois is celebrating the success of a myriad of activities commemorating Earth Month! Over the past month, the Three Rivers Project partnered with several local businesses, environmental and conservation organizations, and the local Sierra Club group—the Piasa Palisades Group— to encourage action and participation in initiatives that focus on the urgent need for environmental justice, conservation, and climate solutions. These events and initiatives are made possible through the dedication of local volunteers, whose hard work as citizen scientists and environmental advocates aid in the protection and preservation of the beautiful Piasa Palisades region.

“As a grassroots organization, volunteers are not only integral to the day-to-day work we do, but also help guide our vision for a cleaner, greener Illinois,” says Three Rivers Project co-Coordinator Christine Favilla. “The efforts of local volunteers over the past month are proof of volunteers’ capacity to change their local communities for the better. We’re so grateful to the leadership of the Piasa Palisades Group, our partnerships with local business and other environmental and conservation organizations, and to the countless

volunteers who show up time and time again to protect our environment.”

Throughout April and May, the Three Rivers Project participated in three litter clean-ups to preserve and protect the Mississippi River, four native tree and plant plantings, and several community events to educate residents about environmental issues.

Over the course of the two river clean-ups, volunteers collected over 1,500 pounds of trash and recyclable material. The April 27 cleanup event with volunteers from the Three Rivers Project and Living Lands & Waters yielded a mind boggling accumulation of trash, including: 189 square feet of foam, two pounds of scrap metal, 52 pounds of plastic, three five-gallon buckets, two basketballs, four tires, a TV, a fridge, and other miscellaneous items.

In addition to local cleanup efforts, the Three Rivers Project of Illinois is partnering with the National Great Rivers Research and

Education Center (NGRREC) and the city of Alton to plant native plants and trees throughout downtown Alton. Over the course of two planting sessions, volunteers planted 54 native trees in Piasa Park, the Riverfront Park, the Wadlow Restoration Site, and at the Hampton Gardens. This project, which is made possible thanks to a Recover, Replant, Restore! Grant from Trees Forever, will help provide tree canopy cover to green spaces throughout Alton.

Don’t let hearing loss keep you from enjoying life to the fullest!

“Volunteers do so much to protect and preserve our unique ecosystem in the Metro East region, and we look forward to continuing to work alongside them in service of our shared planet and to celebrating their accomplishments,” says Favilla.
