Mara Register from the Mayor's office of the City of Valdosta
came to the Lowndes County Commission to speak about
Valdosta Downtown Farm Days, May through September.
One of the wonderful things about this event is it highlighted our beautiful historic courthouse. It highlighted our local growers and producers, and our historic downtown. But also went further to help promote healthy eating in our community.
...bringing people together to the downtown area to take advantage of the products that were produced here locally. The sense of conviviality was just wonderful,
bringing the community together. It's very exciting actually to see several of our vendors here this evening.
Ashley Paulk, on his very best behavior that day, recognized his neighbors the Quartermans
for their
okra.
Aw, shucks, Ashley!
We knew you liked us since you
gave LAKE that award.
Both Joyce Evans and Crawford Powell have bought vegetables from Gretchen at Valdosta Farm Days;
that must be why they voted for that award!
Anyway, cats and dogs playing together.
Here's the video:
