Oconee Farmers Market To Have Soft Launch April 1 and Grand Opening April 22

Oconee Farmers Market will have a soft launch of its 14th season in front of the Courthouse in Watkinsville on April 1 and a Grand Opening on April 22.

The soft launch is to accommodate vendors who planted with the traditional first Saturday in April opening date in mind.

Spring Break for Oconee County schools is the first week of April, and Easter is April 16, making the April 22 date the appropriate one for the Grand Opening, according to Farmers Market Board President Annie Kennedy.

Kennedy announced the two dates to a meeting of Market vendors on Feb. 23 at the Oconee County Library in Watkinsville.

Eleven vendors plus the six members of the Market Board of Directors, most of whom are vendors, attended.
