MARSHALL — The Harrison County Farmers Market is set to open its seasonal shop in Telegraph Park at the end of the month.
The market will be held 7 a.m. to noon every Saturday beginning May 27 through Nov. 4 in downtown Marshall.
“We have kind of had a change of guard,” Harrison County Farmers Market Secretary and Co-Treasurer Betsy McHugh said about the organization. “It’s sort of turning over a new leaf with hopefully a lot of new vendors and enthusiastic people who just want to help promote downtown Marshall for everyone.”
The Harrison County Farmers Market has been in operation for many years and is self-governed. Nathanial McAllister is its president.
Starting Memorial Day weekend, the Farmers Market will host an opening day celebration with a ribbon-cutting by the Greater Marshall Chamber of Commerce.
“The city has worked really hard to make us feel welcomed and has included us as much as they can,” McHugh said.
The Marshall Regional Arts Council will provide arts and crafts, a clown will perform balloon animals and local guitar pickers will provide music.
Shoppers can expect to find homegrown fruits and veggies, eggs, jams and more.
“We are happy, talented people that really want to support downtown Marshall and just really want to get people out and getting into their community and talking to each other,” McHugh said.
Anyone interested in vendor space can contact McHugh at (801) 440-9172.
