Highland Village one Houston’s many landmark shopping and dining destinations, is the now home to the new Highland Village Farmers Market as well! It's a Saturday market selling organic and sustainably grown products and Highland Village is calling on Houston’s students to give the new farmers market mascot a name. Isn't he cute?? And what a great and fun way to get the kids interested and involved in organic farming and eating! 

Here's how it works! Students, ages 5-11, who are enrolled in a Houston Elementary School are encouraged to put on their thinking caps and create a name for the Highland Village Farmers Market farmer boy mascot. Your child's submission should invlude their suggested name along with an explanation about their choice.

The winner will be announced at the Highland Village Farmers Market on December 5, 2009. The student with the winning name will be awarded a years worth of free Tasti D Lite. A WHOLE YEAR!!!! YUMMY!

But like all fun things there are rules....Entries must be submitted electronically by midnight on November 27^th OR postmarked by the 27^th if submitted by mail. 

You may email your Farmer Boy Name suggestion to shannon.price@hvcenter.com or by mail to Shannon Price, 4055 Westheimer Houston, TX 77027.
