Marianna Market's Spring Harvest Set for May 2nd The Jackson County Growers' Association (dba Marianna City Farmers' Market) will be commemorating its 50th Anniversary during their Spring Harvest Festival at Madison Street Park in Marianna on Saturday, May 2nd from 7 a.m. until noon.&nbsp; For the kids, Henrietta's Henhouse will be back where they can help Henrietta find her eggs, learn about agriculture by planting seeds, make crafts, play assorted games and a photo opp. &nbsp;A basket of market goodies including some Market bucks to spend at the market will be given away. Come "Walk Down Memory Lane" with us. At 10:00 am, founding Extension Agent Charles Brasher, will be giving a short talk about the market's history, followed by conversations with some of the earlier farmers and leaders. &nbsp;Those with stories to tell, please come, sit a spell and join the conversation. &nbsp;The market is putting together a scrapbook. &nbsp;If anyone has anything—photos, letters, newspaper clippings—they can be added to the book. The Jackson County Growers' Association is changing its name to the Tri-State Community Market. This reflects the market's growth and expanded direction while encompassing the greater regional area of Florida, Alabama and Georgia with a new name, new direction, and new logo. The association will award a $500 prize to the designer of a new logo for the new name. Contest rules can be found on their website at&nbsp;<a href="https://mariannacityfarmersmkt.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">MariannaCityFarmersMkt.com</a>. Logo designs must be entered and received by midnight on April 24th. The market’s board of directors will then pick the best logo designs for the public to vote on at the Spring Harvest Festival. The Marianna market is open every Saturday year round from 7 a.m. till noon with vendors featuring fresh fruit, nuts, produce, plants, assorted handmade arts and crafts, as well cottage food products including baked goods, honey, jams and jellies.&nbsp;
