HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Reno County Farmer's Market will be open as normal on a Saturday morning, even though Saturday is July 4.

"We have more vendors than we have spaces," said Sheila Corn with the Farmer's Market. "We're tucking people in corners to have enough spaces for everybody."

The Farmer's Market can't be the social event that organizers have been accustomed to in previous years, but business is good.

"The distancing is a little bit more of a problem," Corn said. "We definitely are strongly recommending that you wear your face masks."

If at all possible, send one family member in to the market to purchase items.

"Our Saturday hours are 7:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.," Corn said. "This year, we've had such a demand that by 12:00, a lot of people are packing up to go home."

Please shop with your eyes and tell vendors what you want and they will pick it up and package it for you.
