Summer is unofficially over after this Labor Day weekend. Someone needs to tell Mother Nature that! 90 degree temperatures is not what one would call Fall weather! lol No matter...we get to celebrate two things. It's Labor Day and that means our farmers will be bringing the fruits of their labor to the market on Saturday. And the kids have returned to school so we are celebrating with a Back To School Day! Both markets will have a limited supply of insulated lunch bags that will be given away on Saturday, so shop early! By the way, they are Wildcat Blue in color but we call it Bluegrass Market Blue.
Now on to the fruits of our farmers labor. Here's a bit of what you'll find at the markets this Saturday...

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!
