Sponsored by the Central Texas Master Gardeners, the weekly Farmers Market will be held each Saturday through July 22nd from 9-11:00am on the west side of the Courthouse Square.

Plus there were vendors with home-made breads, canned vegetables, sauces and jellies, plus specially prepared pecans and other nuts. Also on sale were hand-made clothing and accessories.
The Master Gardeners also had a good offering of literatures covering growing and enjoying plants in this part of Texas.
