Town of Shelburn hosts first farm market of the season on Saturday
This year marks the second annual market for the town, located at the parking lot of the old bank in front of the Shelburn Police Department.
The event takes place once a month, and board members hope the event will draw community members in to have the opportunity to purchase homemade goods and fresh items.
'This is kind of neat to get to come out on a Saturday morning, enjoy the weather, chat with the community, people that you don't see very often,' said Paula Montgomery and Bridgette Houser, Shelburn Farm Market Board members. 'People get some good yummy, homemade kind of things to take back with you.'
For those interested in becoming a vendor, it is easy and simple. Plus, the market is always welcoming new vendors for completely free.
'There's applications at the town hall. There are applications at the library. We also have them posted on our Facebook page,' said the board members.

Steve Miller Band says extreme weather is so dangerous it's canceling its tour
Classic rocker Steve Miller has canceled his U.S. tour because he said severe weather including extreme heat and unpredictable flooding poses a danger to his band, its fans and crew. The tour was set to kick off in August and run through early November, with nearly three dozen stops across the U.S. including cities in New York, Tennessee, Florida and California. 'The combination of extreme heat, unpredictable flooding, tornadoes, hurricanes and massive forest fires make these risks for you our audience, the band and the crew unacceptable,' Miller, 81, said in a statement posted on the band's social media accounts Wednesday. 'You can blame it on the weather. … The tour is cancelled.' The Steve Miller Band, formed in California in the 1960s, has hits including 'The Joker' (1973) and 'Abracadabra' (1982). A band spokesperson declined to provide additional details about the cancellation. Miller's decision comes as a stretch of extreme weather in the U.S. has made headlines. A sweltering heat dome that baked much of the eastern half of the nation in June and deadly flash flooding in Texas are some of the recent rounds of extreme weather. Scientists say climate change is fueling extreme weather, causing storms to unleash more rain and sending temperatures soaring to dangerous heights, making it harder to plan outdoor summer events. The atmosphere can hold higher amounts of moisture as it warms, resulting in storms dumping heavier amounts of rain compared with storms of the past. Prev Next 'Everyone wants to see their favorite artist, and that's still possible. You just have to best mitigate weather risks,' said Jonathan Porter, chief meteorologist at AccuWeather, a private weather company. 'For example, the doors may open an hour late in order to ensure thunderstorms have moved sufficiently away from the venue so the show can go on safely.' Music festivals have recently encountered extreme weather, resulting in cancellations or causing concertgoers to become ill. In June, the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival in Tennessee was canceled partway through due to heavy rainfall. Last week, hundreds of people were treated for heat-related illnesses at the Rock the Country music festival in Kentucky, according to local officials. In 2023, tens of thousands of Burning Man event attendees were stranded after heavy rain created thick mud in the Nevada desert and roads were temporarily closed. A study published in 2020 reported climate change will increase the likelihood of extreme heat stress during the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in California. Tropical storms and hurricanes will soon contribute to the turbulent weather as activity peaks between August and October, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
