National Farmers Market Week is here! It runs August 1-7, 2010 and is a great opportunity to celebrate one of South Carolina’s leading industries (agriculture) and the people who make it possible: farmers, local, hobby growers and artisans! There’s something special about having a farmers’ market in your neighborhood. It provides a source for healthy produce, handmade art, and a place to get to know your local farmers and it's also a community gathering place that can bring neighbors, friends, family together for entertainment and fun.
The York Downtown Farmers Market is paying tribute to it's vendors and saying thank you to the community with a National Farmers Market week celebration Saturday, August 7. Activities and entertainment will include local musicians "Rock Fabulous & The Outlaw Poets" (Tom Aggeles & Rob Quincy) performing live from 10:00AM-NOON, tractor show (will be set up across the street from the market), 4H petting farm, watermelon seed spitting contest, coloring contest and come as your favorite fruit or vegetable or farm animal. All contests will start at 10:30AM.
The market is located on N Congress St and is open from 8AM-Noon, Saturdays. Market vendors offer fresh, seasonal, local and mountain produce, local honey, goats milk soap, soy candles, fresh cut perennials, wood, leather, and textile crafts, bird houses, herbs and much more. Vendor space is FREE and there are still several weeks left to get involved or come visit the market.
