Roanoke Valley Farmers Market Opens May 4th

The Roanoke Valley Farmers Market opens for 2013 on Saturday, May 4th.  We've been hard at work over the last few months to create a better market experience for this coming season, and we're very excited that opening day is just over a week a way.  Our vendors, the Halifax County Cooperative Extension staff, Halifax County Operations, Halifax County Health Department, county government, and other volunteers have really committed to improving the building and grounds and beautifying our market.  Some of the work has already been done, some will be completed during the coming week before we open this year, and some will continue throughout the 2013 market season.  While out at the market today with a few helpers (including my 6 year-old daughter who volunteered to be the camerawoman), I got the urge to give everyone a sneak peak at some of the work we've been doing.  Have a look:
