I noticed all that was going on in the park today when I took my shipments to the Post Office....looked like there was a good crowd and turn-out.
I will say that it was soooo nice to see the Farmers Market IN the City Park...thats just where that belongs...
JMHO....M :/

I agree. It would be great if it was in the park. Much easier to get in and out of that way.

Not to mention more shade & breezey! Take coffee, buy a treat to eat, then shop for the veggies & things.

So then...why can't the Farmers Market be located in our City Park every Saturday then, instead of the parking lot to the south of the Parkway Club? ...but were allowed to be there then for this event, what makes that any difference? NOT as if they are harming anything at all, right ? That just should be there....................JMHO................. M
