Last
Saturday the final drawing of the season for the fresh market basket
was held at the Original Farmers' Market in Latham Park. The
winner of the basket was Jean Gala of Lincoln.
The vendors who participated in at least one of the weekly
giveaways were Floyd and Sandy Davis, the cookie lady; market
managers Doug Fink and Vickie Hum, with canned preserves and fresh
produce; Kyle Haning, with locally grown produce; Steve Koller, with
locally grown produce; Natalie Morris, the bread lady; Richard
Smith, the tomato man; and Anna Stanfield, with plants and herbs.
The produce market in Latham Park will have extended hours at the
art fair on Saturday. The market will open at 7 a.m. and run through
2 in the afternoon.
The market will be located on the west side of the park and can
be accessed by taking the southwest corner sidewalk to the grass
walkway about halfway between the corner and the gazebo.
