The Chamber in cooperation with Wilderness Road State Park, would like to announce that they will sponsor a Farmers and Artisans Market starting the first Saturday in June and running through October. The Market will be held on every Saturday during this period. At a time when the quality, origin and safety of our food supply is increasingly being questioned, locally grown and locally known provides an alternative that many of us feel a lot better about. We would certainly welcome the help and ideas of all who want to offer them in helping to get this project off the ground.
