It's fall, foliage is beautiful, root crops are abundant, and this Friday will be our last market day for 2013. The forecast looks good: mid-60s, partly cloudy. At 5pm we’ll have music from F.O.G. (Friends of Gary), featuring Richmond residents Gary Beckwith, Forrest Beckwith, Liz Pattison, Paul Butler, and Colin Brett. They will touch your soul and rattle your brain with acoustic folk/rock. Sponsored and powered by the Solar Bus.
