Frankston Farmers Market to celebrate the holidays Saturday

Dec. 8—Thanks to a lot of planning and hard work, the Frankston Farmers Market reached new heights of success in 2022 and they will close out the year with two separate events Saturday.

From 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 10, Farmers Market vendors will set up shop at Tractor Supply located at 2770 US-175 in Frankston. They will move their wares to the downtown square and join the festivities at Frankston's Christmas in the Park from 5:30 p.m. until 8 p.m.

Safire Norris began coordinating the Farmers Market last year, and with a few rule changes and a lot of effort to reach out to vendors, she has been able to see a lot of growth for the weekly event.

"I'm amazed that this time last year I was promoting that we would have a 2022 Frankston Farmers Market, hoping that the community would respond favorably," Norris said. "Now here we are promoting the last two markets of 2022!"
