Bring a Card for David!
We are collecting cards and notes of well wishes for our vendor David Davis, owner of Hillhome Country Products, who suffered a stroke on Dec. 24th. He has all his faculties but has a long haul to recovery. Help him speed the process by letting him know we are sending positive energy his way. Drop a card at the market booth this Saturday!
