In 2020, after COVID, the vision of a Farmers Market danced in our heads. In the Fall of 2020, we had our pre-view market and in May of 2021, our vision became a reality when we opened the Eden Farmers Market!
The last 5 years have been great, fun, rewarding, challenging, eventful & memorable. Myself and my team have put many, many hours in to make this market a success and hope that everyone was able to take a little something out of it! Our goal was to provide an environment for our local vendors artisans to come and sell their goods and to share their talents with the community.
It is with great sadness that the Eden Farmers Market will be having its very last market, Tue. Oct.7th - so please come out and support all of our vendors. We are extremely grateful to every vendor, volunteer & customer who made the market a success and helped turn a dream into a reality! The Market may be ending, but the friendships & memories will carry on.
Thank you to all for being a part of this journey with us! Rain or Shine, we were there… See you at the market… for one last time!
Michelle Gonter, President/Founder Eden Farmers Market

October 5-11, 2025

Fire Prevention Week is observed each year during the week of October 9th in commemoration of the Great Chicago Fire, which began on October 8, 1871, and caused devastating damage. This horrific conflagration killed more than 250 people, left 100,000 homeless, destroyed more than 17,400 structures, and burned more than 2,000 acres of land. In 1925, President Calvin Coolidge proclaimed Fire Prevention Week a national observance, making it the longest-running public health observance in our country. During Fire Prevention Week, children, adults, and teachers learn how to stay safe in case of a fire. Firefighters provide lifesaving public education in an effort to drastically decrease casualties caused by fires.
This year’s Fire Prevention Week™ (FPW™) campaign, October 5-11, “Charge into Fire Safety™: Lithium-Ion Batteries in Your Home,” works to educate everyone about using these batteries safely. The campaign stresses how important it is to BUY, CHARGE, and RECYCLE safely when it comes to lithium-ion batteries.

• Buy only listed products. When buying a product that uses a lithium-ion battery look for a safety certification mark such as UL, ETL, or CSA. This means it meets important safety standards.
• Charge devices safely. Always use the cords that came with the product to charge. Follow the instructions from the manufacturer. Buy new chargers from the manufacturer or one that the manufacturer has approved. Charge your device on a hard surface. Don’t overcharge your device. Unplug it or remove the battery when it’s fully charged.
• Recycle batteries responsibly. Don’t throw lithium-ion batteries in the trash or regular recycling bins because they could start a fire. Recycle your device or battery at a safe battery recycling location. Visit call2recycle.org to find a recycling spot near you.
-Charge on a hard, flat surface (not a bed or a couch).
-Use the charger that came with your device or one from the same company.
-If you have to jiggle the cord to charge, it’s time for a new charger.
-When your device is fully charged, unplug it.

















A Guide to Household Fire Safety and Prevention



Approximately 75% of chimney fires are caused by creosote buildup!
TIPS
To operate a fire extinguisher, remember P.A.S.S.:
Pull the pin, Aim the nozzle, Squeeze the handle, and Sweep from side to side.
HOUSEHOLD FIRES ARE DANGEROUS, DESTRUCTIVE, AND ALL TOO COMMON.
SMOKE DETECTORS
TIPS
• Check the batteries in smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors twice a year.

• Keep chimneys clear and vented. A dirty chimney builds up creosote deposits that can easily catch a wayward spark and cause a dangerous, destructive fire.
Dryers and washing machines are involved in 1 out of every 22 home structure fires!
TIPS
• Clean lint screens before every load. The buildup of lint is responsible for an average of 4,440 fires each year.
• Avoid overloading the dryer. Motors under strain can overheat easily and start fires.
Always rely on a central heating system to heat your home. Space heaters account for around 1/3 of home heating fires.
TIPS
• Keep plenty of space around any space heater-if it’s flammable, make sure it’s at least 3 feet away from the unit!
Approximately 41 % of home fires start in the kitchen.
TIPS
• Never leave a lit stove or range unattended.
• Always keep a fire extinguisher within easy reach of the stove.
• Oil splatter and grease account for 37% of kitchen fires, so keep those ranges clean!
* Brainstorm at least 2 ways to escape from each room in your home, and decide on a meeting spot outside and away from the house.







• Install smoke alarms on every level of your home, as well as inside and outside every sleeping area.
• Test smoke alarms monthly, and replace the batteries if needed.
• Purchase and learn how to safely use a fire extinguisher.
• Create a fire escape plan with your family, reviewing and practicing it twice a year.
• Your fire escape plan should include two exit points from every room, as well as a designated outdoor meeting spot.
• Make sure everyone in your family knows when and how to call 911 or the fire department.

• Turn off portable heaters when you leave a room or go to sleep.





• Never leave a candle burning unattended, and consider replacing traditional candles with battery-operated flameless versions.
• Keep matches and lighters out of reach from children, and make sure they know never to play with these items.
• Replace or repair loose plugs, exposed wiring or frayed extension cords, and avoid overloading outlets and extension cords.
• Keep any items that can catch fire at least three feet away from cooking and heating devices.
• Remain in the kitchen when cooking food. Always turn off the stove if you leave the kitchen even for a brief period of time.

• In the event of a fire, yell “Fire” repeatedly and evacuate immediately. Once outside, call 911 or the fire department, and never reenter a burning building for any reason.
• If a door or door handle feels warm to the touch, do not open it. Use an alternate escape route.
•If you must walk through smoke, get as close to the ground as possible to escape under the smoke, closing doors behind you.




• If your clothing catches fire, always remember to stop, drop and roll, covering your face with your hands.
• If you can’t escape a room, close the door and cover vents and door cracks with a towel or cloth to keep out smoke. Call 911 or the fire department, and signal for help at the window with a piece of cloth or a flashlight.
• If you are unable to reach pets or someone in the home needing assistance, evacuate, call 911 and tell the emergency operator and firefighters where the person or pet is located.

It allows moisture to penetrate the protective surface of the coating, and cause rust and corrode on the roof. The fracture in the paint can cause a painted panel to corrode at a faster rate than an unpainted panel. WANT A ROOF THAT LOOKS BRAND NEW ALL THE TIME?
You should use our metal roof that made with the EVERLAST HEAT FORMING PROCESS! It creates a more flexible paint system that is better than withstand the rigors of the forming process. The paint coverage is not compromised, and the result is outstanding barrier protection. This barrier protection prevents corrosion by isolating the steel from the environment.

















































“Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.” -- T.S. Eliot









Not many of us are adventurers in any sense of the word. But thank God for those who are!
Thankfully there are individuals who believed the world was not flat and set out to prove it, who saw birds in the air and believed men could also fly above the earth, who pushed to explore below the seas and into caves. Thankfully there are individuals who saw the devastation of illnesses and pushed for cures, who saw the benefit of trying where others only saw risks. In every area of our lives, there have been those who dared to push the boundaries that were known. And they continue to this day to explore options and expand our known world.
We owe thanks to all those who have been willing to risk going too far for without them we might still be cavemen living in fear of the dark.
