FM2 Know Before You Go report

OPEN TODAY, SATURDAY, MAY 17, 2014: The Farmer's Market on the Square is open every Saturday from 8am-1pmCT, at the Adair Annex Parking Lot, 424 Public Square, Columbia, KY

By Barbara Armitage, Market Coordinator

The weather forecast is nearly perfect for Columbia's Farmer's Market on the Square (FM2, for short), with sunshine and a high of 63. This is the last Saturday before the election - and it's an awesome day for outdoor entertainment, meeting old acquaintances, street food, and entertainment for the entire family. Some will make it a day - some will be here at special times - to mingle, but everyone - especially candidates, should make at least one stop.

Here's who will be here - so far:
