Hope everyone enjoyed America's birthday yesterday. I know ours was a very wet one...hope you all managed to get your grilling and picnic in between raindrops.
I have spoken to a few farmers and they are hoping that the fields will be dry enough to get into in order to harvest for the market tomorrow. Keep your fingers crossed! :)

We'll be set up in the beautiful tree lined parking lot of Pedal the Planet and Fast Signs, right next door to the Glenn Auto Mall on Richmond Rd. It's just a hop, skip and a jump outside of Man 'O War Blvd. Parking is right there so you don't have to drive around hunting for a spot to park. The parking lot is also paved and that makes it very stroller and wheelchair friendly!

Look for us in the Stonewall Center, set up in front of Another Man's Treasure. Plenty of free parking available!
