The Clarksburg Farmers Market opened on Saturday to a great crowd and to approximately 20 vendors. The board and committee worked very hard to expand the Market vendors and to get varied vendors that would attract and meet the needs of the public. The vendors included beautiful flowers and vegetables to plant. There were also hanging flower baskets that made great Mothers Day gifts. There were several booths with deserts and home canned jellies. There was a vendor with baskets and even a knife sharpening booth. You could also find home crafted items. One booth offered scented soaps and other scented items for the home.
This week featured the Clarksburg Public Library Children’s department, who passed out books to the children. They also supplied fresh flowers for their children to plant in a cup as a special gift for their mothers. Approximately 80 flowers were prepared for their mothers by the children. Erica Perry, Clarksburg Public Library Children’s Librarian assisted the children on this project.
The committee plans on having different projects such as this every week.
Music was supplied by a local band throughout the market. There was also a food truck for individualS to get lunch or just a snack.
The Clarksburg Farmers Market is located in the Farmers Tractor Supply parking lot on Emily Drive. It will be open every Saturday morning throughout the summer from nine until one o’clock . President is Betty Waddy and Bill Yoke serves as treasurer..
Get ready for a beautiful summer, stay healthy and until next week “Now You Have Heard It Through The Grapevine.”
