  1. Ooops sorry Ulysses. Forgot about the annon ban. Posted before about the MGP farmers market this past weekend. Just seemed a little sad compared to previous weeks. No meat vendor. Not much selection of produce, etc. Wondering what's up and if this is a sign of (bad) things to come. Showed up looking to spend my money and contribute but walked away with most of that cash still in my pockets.
