The popular event, now in its 18
th year, regularly draws thousands to downtown and will run every Saturday through Nov. 27 with approximately 90 vendors.
âWe decided to add several weeks to the market this year after requests from vendors who wanted an extended season and customers who want to shop the market through the fall,â said Taylor Yurgalevicz, Farmers Market manager. âOur focus this year is more on the farmers who will provide produce, meat, plants, and flowers.

This also allows us to offer more locally grown and sourced farm fresh items and homemade food.â
