There is even a stand that can convert your EBT into vouchers!
The interior of the lawn is packed with people elbow to elbow in a long row of abutting picnic tables. Besides the peoplewatching and sounds of traffic interlaced with strumming from a guitar, I am enticed by the scent of wood fired brick-oven pizza. Last year this earthen oven was constructed and donated by volunteers from local resources and plays the main attraction in the community’ s Friday night festivities.
Trekking inside the WTCS you can find busy volunteers tossing pies and dressing them with marinara sauce and cheese, for a suggested $ 10 donation you can buy a pizza and take it outside to the oven. They go on sale starting at 5:30 and do sell out! Next to the oven you will find a spread of goods from the market to customize your 14” pizza to perfection. I chose basil, sausage, spinach, and garlic. I hear a week before they had an impressive batch of chanterelle mushrooms, they serve whatever is fresh and in abundance. About ten minutes after placing my work of art on a rack, with all the good smells it seemed like the longest ten minutes of my life, a perfect specimen emerged.
My work hubby and I enjoyed ours in the shade on the wrap around porch with some beer we had brought in my paisley lunchbox everyone confuses with a purse. After all, the Market is BYOB. I recommend bringing some of your own brews, a pizza is easily sharable, good for time with friends and family. For a date night suggestion bring your own blanket, and stay for the show.
Live music is played every week from 7:30 to 9 with great headliners, Like em on Facebook to see more. The site is also updated with local treats you can find at the store;
For those of you inspired by the goodness and importance of the West River Community Project, get involved! They are always looking for volunteers, and donations. email: info @ westtownshend. org
