Caught an announcement on the radio this morning.... The Entertainment Dept is adding a second Farmer's Market at Spanish Springs Town Square on Thursdays from 9-2, starting sometime in the next couple of weeks. This is in addition to Brownwood on Saturday. The gentleman said that many of the same vendors will be at SS. The trial run at SS earlier this spring was very well received and residents asked for more.

Probably more details to come in the paper in the next few days.

Glad to hear this...can't always make it down to BW on Saturday.

I agree, wonderful news! We were at Brownwood this morning and a vendor we regularly buy from told us the 20th of June would be the opening for Spanish Springs. Now we'll have two locations, two days per week.

Great news. I love the farmers market at brownwood but I can't always make it there. Glad to see it coming to Spanish springs.

When we first found The Villages there was a small farm stand where Too Jays now stands. That was part of our first experience here that helped bring us back. The farm stand, the bakery across the square and Italian restaurant/brewery still has my Dad asking me whatever happened to them.

Good news for Villagers---bad news for Marion Market and their farmers market wing.

Talked to one of the vendors today and he is very excited about the SS market!

Great news for those that don't have a car, and golf cart can't make it to BW.

Hey! Where's there a distance problem? Those in the upper portion of TV could always solve their distance problem by replacing their golf cart with a personal sized helicopter!

Seriously, this is a very good point janmcn made and you can add to it the extensive amount of time it takes for those at the northern end to get to BW.

My wife made a comment to me that she thought that in her opinion it would have been wiser for the market be added at LSL instead of SS on Wednesdays because it is more centralized for all of TV. Sounds like that would have been better to me as well.

Anyway, this news is real good news for TV's way uppers!

Why bad news for Marion? I constantly hear on this board how people won't go anywhere their golf carts won't take them. And they definitely CAN'T go to Marion on them!
