Packed house. That’s the only way to describe the March 6th RVCC Community Market and Pancake Breakfast. February’s event was canceled due to all of the snowfall across Nelson. But, with the sun shining and temps headed toward the 50’s it was a perfect days for people to get out!

The indoor market is a winter alternative that started a few years back to give folks a place to go during the cold months while the Nelson Farmers Market is in hibernation.

Brian Craig and son Rowen check out the market this past Saturday morning.

All kinds of homemade jams, jellies and preserves were just some of what could be found at the market.

There was live music to entertain the crowd.

People head into the market Saturday morning.

The first weekend of May always brings out a crowd, and when it coincides with the opening of the Nelson Farmers’ Market, it’s an even bigger crowd. The 2009 season of the market officially got underway this past Saturday. The market is held each Saturday until October.

Vendors did a very brisk business on opening day.

Starting Wednesday a new version of the market will be opening in Lovingston as well, right next door to the Nelson Memorial Library.

Many other area markets will kick off this coming week as well, including the brand new Schuyler Community Farmers’ Market on May 9th.
