Spring is here and it’s time for another Extravaganza celebrating the life of our dear friend, Daniel Frouman. The HOPE Farmers Market will host this event on Sunday, April 10, 2011 from 11am-3pm. There is a new, covered stage on the West end of the market, which will host the event beautifully. Hopefully you all are available to be a part of it.

Musicians, please bring your gear and do the thing you do so well. HOPE FM has a basic 4-input PA, and  will gladly support you all however it is needed.

Runners, bring your running shoes and team shirts. We’d like to ask runners to find a sponsor for $20. The route will be the same as last year.  A limited number of Daniel Frouman Memorial Running Club shirts will be provided at no charge for any runner who doesn’t already have one.

This year, silent auction proceeds and all donations will benefit Anthropos Arts, a nonprofit dedicated to providing music lessons for students who couldn’t afford them otherwise. Anthropos has changed the lives of many local students in Section 1 schools by providing lessons, mentors, performance opportunities, and scholarships. Anthropos students will be at the market representing the organization, and might even join the performance if they are welcome to.

The silent auction will include art, passes to ACL Festival and Lollapalooza, jewelry, and anything else we can gather. We welcome any items you would like to contribute. If you want a donation letter for collecting auction items, contact Emily Stengel.
