Ahhh, the Pleasures of Summer ... Sunshine, Flowers, and FRESH PRODUCE!!



We had lots of great new vendors with home grown veggies fill up the market this weekend, and boy, was the community happy to see them!





















Valentine Farms ~ Ironworks ~ and don't forget to get your FRESH EGGS!!



Gorgeous hand spun yarn...



Sunshine to take home! Brighten up any room with fresh flowers...



Randys' Leather Crafts





Beautiful little pottery necklaces...



and if you eat all your veggies you get to have DESSERT.






Peach Cobbler recipe ~ you can use half the sugar and it would still come out great. To make the Cinnamon Ice Cream just add ground cinnamon to taste to your favorite vanilla ice cream and stir in really good. What a great way to use the yummy peaches from the Market!



Thank you to the vendors and the community for your continued support of the Market. It is very refreshing to take a drive or walk to our beloved Downtown and see the bustle of activity on the lot. Signa, along with the Downtown Business Association, have alot of great ideas and events that will bring that "Home Town" feeling to our community. Any little thing we can do to support these projects is much appreciated and we will all reap the benefits!

Make it a great week!

Until next time, see ya' at the Market!
