July 5, 2008 was the very first Saturday that Fountain Inn began it's Farmer's Market.  Its held every Saturday from 8 A.M. til Noon.  Well, my wife and I got there on July 5th around 9 A.M.  Hey, I thought that was a decent time to go shopping for vegetables.  Well, there was absolutely NO CORN left.  Everyone had already bought it all.

On the next Saturday, according to City Administrator Eddie Case, there were approximately 500 people that turned out to buy produce. I missed that day but I did make it back on July 19.  There were more participants and produce available.

My wife and I bought cantelope (VERY good) and some fresh green beans.  She cooked them all day Saturday and they were delicious.

This Farmers Market will be expanding over the next few months.  If you have the chance, come see for yourself.

Til next time...Bye
