[ May 11, 2022 ] As we all know, sometimes the weatherman and phones are not always accurate. As was the case this past Saturday. Light rain, heavy mist and cool temperatures however did not stop another successful market day.

Many mothers received a free begonia, and shoppers found colorful flowers, art, candles, soaps and more. Coffee and hot chocolate from Kebra, Red Bean Coffee, kept us warm. Little Ilene?s brownies kept us sweet, and the sweet rolls (cinnamon or fruit) from Sweet Treats were definitely a treat!

Zach Henson's table displayed onions and radishes. While Steve & Becky Alexander's table offered lettuce and micro greens. Plants for your garden were plentiful from Jones Family Farm, Bunny Johnson and Family Grown?s Nathan & Ansleigh.

Upon arriving home, a dreary day brought sad news. Over the past 23 years, I've seen many faces come and go and have been thru the loss of many of our older folks. However, the news of losing vendor Tim May hurts especially hard. A young, hard working man with an undeniable passion for food and farming. His presence and smile will be missed by many.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to his daughters, family and friends. I couldn?t find too many pictures of Tim actually at his table, as he was always full of energy and visiting everyone. But I did catch him a couple of times and wanted to share that smile. Rest In Peace my friend.

NOTE: A gofundme account for donations is setup by Alan Roden on behalf of Tim's children.
