It looks sunny and 70° for both Sunday and Memorial Day on Monday. Saturday is a bit cooler for shoppers at the Pleasantville Farmers Market and there looks to be a chance of light rain. So the set up for this weekend is clear: locate your rain jacket, get clean reusable bags ready, prep the grill, and then shop Saturday for the items you need to make Sunday and Monday a delightful outdoor season kick off. The Market can supply seafood, grilling meats and spices, bottled cocktails from visiting Sprits Lab, artisan breads and cheeses, crisp salad greens and so much more. Also, North Winds Lavender Farm will be making their first visit of the season on Saturday. Get your plan ready to create a delicious holiday weekend.
