Pavillion Opens to Enthusiastic Growers

   The shade and congenial surroundings were much appreciated this morning as the Weekend Farmer's Market set up shop in the new pavillion in the JB Wise Parking lot.
    There were fruit and produce growers, Amish folks, a lamb rancher and there was the Spicy Wench owned by Christine Hoffman. She makes a variety of jams and jellies, some spicy, some tame.

   

 The covered walkway and restrooms are the end of the latest phase of downtown redevelopment which included a remake of Public Square.

    Since the projects began there has been considerable investment in downtown, which the latest to be finished is a set of upper floor apartments built by Joyce and Steve Bradley of Abbey Carpet fame.

     The Pavillion project was first formulated under the admnistration of Mayor Joe Butler.
