At the market this year, we will have Wally the garden rock worm in the flower bed where the Farmers Market sign is located, allowing kids to interact with him by seeing how big he can grow with their painted rocks. Wally's head will be displayed, piquing the children's curiosity and providing a fun learning experience right at the market.

Children can participate in an engaging activity by bringing their painted rocks to observe Wally the garden rock worm's growth potential in the flower bed at the market. This hands-on approach not only entertains the kids but also teaches them about nature and the concept of growth in a unique and enjoyable manner.
