After a tumultuous year, Kitsap farmers markets reopen for 2021 season
View Comments
BREMERTON After a year of turmoil that included multiple delays, low attendance and two location changes, the Bremerton Community Farmers Market opened for the 2021 season Thursday at Evergreen Rotary Park.
For organizers, it felt like coming home.
“We are back at Evergreen, which is absolutely fantastic because that’s where we began, that’s where we feel at home, that’s where the community knows us,” market manager Jessica Knuletsky said.
The market’s 2020 opening was delayed by about a month thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic. Organizers were forced to move to Pendergast Regional Park after Bremerton Mayor Greg Wheeler expressed concern about Evergreen’s many entrances. Attendance plummeted at Pendergast, prompting a second move to Quincy Square on Fourth Street.

QUINCY – Some presidents were born here. Others dropped by for a visit.
The nation s second and sixth presidents, John Adams and John Quincy Adams, were born in houses on Franklin Street, back when the city was part of Braintree.
The nation s 41st president, George H.W. Bush, was born in a house at 173 Adams St. in Milton and lived there for a few months before his family moved to Connecticut. He returned in 1997 to dedicate a marker that still stands outside the house.
At least five other presidents have visited the city while in office, most of them paying tribute to their predecessors.
