McKillop increases
Farmers Market
gets sunny start
The skies were bright and so
were the spirits when the first
Farmers' Market opened at Brussels
Livestock Saturday morning.
Brenda Mason, who organized
the market, said there were people
lined up early in the morning wait
ing for the vendors to open their
stalls.
Throughout the day crowds were
not large but were steady. She said
it is a good base for the market to
build on as the season goes on.
Vendors displayed maple syrup,
nursery stock, tools and farm
equipment, baked goods, even
baseball cards. Because it is so
early in the season there was only a
limited amount of fresh produce on
hand.
