Memorial Weekend 2012; The local Farmers' Market has a new location, down at the RR Green in the Village until it's last outdoor days in October. Parking is ample courtesy of Steed Real Estate. Front parking at Main and N. Center Sts. and behind the RR Station on N. Center Street is reserved for Patrons of the Farmers Market and Steed RE every Saturday from 9AM until 2PM. Organizers report 23 Vendors this week and hope for more each week as there is still plenty of room to extend down the Greenway Park area. Music will be played at the Village Gazebo every week with a wide variety of musicians planned. Leashed pets are also welcome.
