The second of the two farmer's markets scheduled to take place at Waseca Community Centre was held Aug. 27. The small number of vendors had a successful day again. It is hoped August, next year the markets will be scheduled again with perhaps a day at the beginning of the week rather than on the weekend being scheduled.
