Get Ready for the Pleasant Hills Lions Club Farmers' Market! The Pleasant Hills Lions Club Farmers’ Market will be held every Thursday afternoon from 3 to 6:30 p.m. from May 29 through October 9 in the parking lot behind the Pleasant Hills Community Presbyterian Church, Old Clairton Rd in Pleasant Hills. This is our 8th year of sponsoring the Farmers' Market and is part of our club's efforts to serve the community. It's been a big success. The money we make from hosting the market, along with other events we sponsor, has enabled us to distribute thousands of dollars to local charities and organizations in addition to helping support Lions Club International's efforts to eradicate blindness. The market typically attracts 500-900 customers on an average Thursday. We've had great support from our local farmers and normally have 15-20 vendors selling everything from fresh fruits and vegetables to organic meat, pies, hot roasted nuts, jams, flowers and a variety of freshlybaked breads and various rolls. This year we are adding crafters and home product vendors, If you are a crafter or a home products vendor interested in selling your products at the market, please contact Lion Tom Daugherty at 412- 653-5177.
