Greetings!
Cooler, more comfortable temps are in store for Saturday, so be sure to linger a little longer at the market this weekend. Take a seat and enjoy the live music while you sip a hot coffee or iced tea and nibble on a muffin. Spend some time talking to the vendors, sample their products and get to know them a bit. Have fun!
