Meet Aaron: 4 Years Old and The LMH Market’s Biggest Fan

For weeks now, Aaron Murphy has been eating breakfast with the promo postcard for the LMH Market’s opening day right by his plate. The four-year-old likes to be reminded that his favorite summer activity returns to action on Saturday, May 9.

“He loves playing in the kids garden and market area,” Aaron’s mom, Samantha Murphy, said. “Plus the extra kids events they add through the season, like the bounce houses and petting zoo. Mostly he just enjoys walking around and seeing all the different things to look at and the treats to pick out.”

Aaron and his family have been coming to the Market for years. Samantha pushed baby Aaron and his twin brother around in a double stroller with their big sister walking alongside. They visit the local vendors with their colorful fruits, veggies and other goods, stop by the children’s area for fun activities and just soak up all the market’s positive energy.

It’s become part of the family’s summer routine. No wonder Aaron is so excited to go back.

Samantha loves the Market, too. “It is always a positive, family-friendly environment.” She notes it’s also a perfect early-morning outing for families with little ones who are up before the sun and ready for fun.

Don’t have the promo postcard sitting next to your breakfast like Aaron? No worries! You are still welcome to join the community at the LMH Market this summer. Opens Saturday, May 9, from 8 a.m. to noon, and runs through Sept. 19 at the Expo Building at the Logan County Fairgrounds.
