Can't believe that nasty weather we had all day yesterday and all night last night. BLEH! So, today, to spite winter I have been looking at information on one my new (as of last year) favorite things to do in the spring/summer is got the Farmer's Market! YAY! There are three that I'm interested in. One of course in Quincy, one in Hannibal, and last but not least Columbia's farmers market. Quincy and Hannibal's markets don't start until May. The Columbia, MO market had it's opening day yesterday. Now you might ask why the heck I would be interested in the COMO Market. Well, it's very close to Sturgeon, so we could just pop over on Saturday morning to check it out before we visit Allen's parents. Phil and Brenda, Matt, and Nicole might even want to go with us. It would be fun! It is one of the very largest in the state of Missouri and has won all kinds of awards. I saw pictures online and it looks like it goes on and on forever! I've checked out their website and they even accept FOOD STAMPS at their farmers market! That's right! In fact the website encourages the people on food stamps to use their stamps to purchase the fresh produce and plants so that they can have better nutrition and their own garden for more self sufficiency! I think this is a pretty neat idea.
Hope everyone had a great weekend despite winter's desperate attempt to stick around.
