Bluffton's favorite spring and summer Saturday morning past time, the Bluffton Farmer's Market, launches its 2011 season on Saturday morning, May 7.
According to Peter Previte, market coordinator, the familiar downtown market will once again be located in the Citizens National Bank parking lot between the bank and the post office.
"We anticipate 17 vendors on Saturday," said Previte. "We have some new vendors this year, and once the season gets rolling customers may select from meat products, flowers, vegetables, jams, bread, pies, eggs, honey, you name it."
Last year the market had 27 vendors at its peak. Vendors come from Bluffton, Lima, Pandora, Findlay, Ottawa and Arcadia, according to Previte, who is now working in the ninth season with the Bluffton market.
The Farmer's Market opens at 8:30 a.m. and runs until noon every Saturday - rain or shine - until the last Saturday in October.
Persons interested in being vendors may contact Previte for details at [email protected] or by calling 419-634-2202.
