Market Opening a Success
The weather cooperated perfectly for the opening of the Delano Community Farmers' Market on the evening of May 5th. Amira's Gypsy Dance Troup L' Orient was on hand to entertain, as was "The Notorious ROSCOE from Biloxi."
Hydroponic greenhouse-grown tomatoes, lettuce and cucumbers were available, along with asparagus, pork, chicken and duck eggs, fresh bread, plant starts and more.
The crowd was estimated to be approximately 200 people. Channel 12's Eyewitness News came out and did a report and the Mayor and three Council Members also stopped by to wish us well and to do a little shopping. |
