Several area farmers markets are opening or have opened for the summer season.  Here's a shopping tip from Larry Caplan, Extension Horticulture Educator for Vanderburgh County:

The Historic Newburgh, Inc. Farmer’s market is more than fruits and vegetables.  Organizers are inviting local artists to create, showcase and sell their works.  

Along with the traditional food fare, the market will feature art work from local artists and many weekends will have music that rings out over the Ohio River.

There will be Home Based Vendors, who are bread and cookie bakers, and of course we'll have farmers.  You will have an opportunity to buy grass fed beef, lamb, and free range chickens and eggs.

Some time next week, Shoe Carnival will help Habitat for Humanity put some finishing touches on a housing project that began in mid-December. Over 70 Shoe Carnival employees at the corporate office have spent six hours a day for three days lending a helping hand to this Habitat for Humanity project. This project is an attempt to help provide affordable housing in Warrick County.
