Buy fresh, buy local!

Wyoming farmers' markets are flourishing with fresh fruit and vibrant veggies so I encourage you to buy locally grown produce!

According to Nate Beckman at the Worland Chamber of Commerce, the first day of market this past Saturday featured 28 vendors, to include produce growers, crafts people, food vendors, and flea-marketers, all locals from the Worland area. We also had live entertainment by members of local country/rock band Mountain Scum and local DJ, Mr. B. Beckman reported, "The estimated foot-traffic was around 300. We plan to hold market every Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. [and] this year's market should run for about 10 weeks, with September 25th being the projected final date." The market is located on 9th Street (off Big Horn Ave.) between Pioneer Park and City Hall in downtown Worland.
