Hi Hudson,
They going to cut the ribbon at the Farmers’ Market and officially open the season.
People asked me when the Farmers’ Market is going outside. Well, it’s outside now, but, you know, the food still has to grow, so it’s not like there’s THAT much of a difference in produce from inside versus outside. But, like, whatever. Go outside.
See you outside, Hudson!
