Main Street Farmer's Market open again Saturday morning
Fresh eggs, beets, tomatoes, baked goods, onions and potatoes. Those are a few of the items that were available last Saturday at McCook Main Street's Farmer's Market. The market will be open again this Saturday from 8 a.m. to whenever the produce is gone (which was about 9:30 a.m. last week).
The new location at the 300 block of West 5th Street (the old West Ward School location) provides vendors with lots of room to display their goods. According to Manager Ivan Schmid, anyone who wants to sell homegrown produce or handmade goods can set up at the Farmer's Market. Because of the added room the new location provides, he anticipates that he will have more craft-type items in the weeks to come.
Shoppers can enter the Farmer's Market on West D Street between West 4th and West 5th Street and park conveniently close to the vendors. That convenience comes in handy for purchasing those heavy bags of fresh new potatoes and dozens of ears of corn-on the cob.
