Leave
Fido and Polly at home or tied up to a nearby tree!! The LB Health Dept.
and state health regulations require us to keep all animals, other than
Seeing Eye and other Service Dogs, out of all of our markets. Please cooperate
with our market staff and with the Health Dept. on this important sanitation
rule!
People!!!
Be sure to be careful crossing the street (Marina Drive) between the market
and the Wild Oats store. We did ask for a crosswalk, but it was denied
on the grounds that pedestrians would get a false sense of security on
a very busy street where many cars go way too fast. Cross over, but be
extremely careful!!!

Our
Critter Companions Need Nurturing Too!
Sunday continues
to be blessed with the adjacent animal adoption stalls, featuring dogs
and cats. They are not technically part of the farmers' market, but they
are allowed by the authorities to be there since they contribute greatly
to the friendly community feeling we enjoy every Sunday.
