Maybe this Saturday will be more conducive to preparing a garden
Market Garden, take two. Yes, our garden preparationproject was rained out last Saturday but it’s good to go this Saturday at 1 p.m. Could there be a better way to celebrate the first day of spring than creating a garden? Wear gloves and come dressed for gardening, and bring a shovel if you have one.
This Saturday is International Day of Happiness and the market is a great place to celebrate. The official International Day of Happiness website encourages you to celebrate by doing something that makes you happy, so come be happy at the market. I know what makes me happy – Kings Kettle Corn returning after their winter break!
Start with breakfast at Harmony Hill and grab lunch from Songbird’s Kitchen for later. If you have kids or grandkids, aged 1 through 18, stop by the Free Kids Meal and pick up breakfast and lunch for them:
Both meals come with milk. If the kids aren’t with you, just show the servers a photo of you with the kids so they can get a head count.
Stop by the composting mini garden. Two weeks ago the sprouts were just breaking the surface of the soil. Last Saturday some of the pea plants were already curling a couple of inches above the soil and other plants had their first true leaves. It should be full of green life this Saturday.
David Loving is on the market stage Saturday.
Vendors we’re expecting include:
I won’t say “See you at the market” because this Saturday I will be at the Middlewest Building selling my great-grandmother’s 120 year-old treadle sewing machine, and hopefully lots of other very old and not so old things. But I’ve got my order in for fresh veggies and kettle corn.
Come to the market and BE HAPPY!

The Webb City Sentinel isn’t a newspaper – but it used to be, serving Webb City, Missouri, in print from 1879-2020. This “newspaper” seeks to carry on that tradition as a nonprofit corporation.
