We will be here on Wednesday next week from 4 to 7, in Lomax, IL, on the highway across from the Pink! (weather permitting)

A few years ago, Grampa Tom met these really awesome people who were starting a farmer's market in Lomax. Dave and Scottie had bought an old gas station and have slowly been fixing it up.The first year they just had a small farmer's market. Then a friend of theirs, Tressa, started cooking fantastic tacos on Wednesday nights. Then Dave started making home made ice cream.

Last year they put in a kitchen and this really neat bar made with a piano string board. These are people after my own heart. I used to have a piano string board. I wanted to mount it to the wall above my bed for a head board, but Grampa Tom (Mr. Spoil Sport) wouldn't let me. :(

Scottie has been selling a few antiques and some crafts there too. 

Right now they are furiously fixing up the old garage. This is where we have set up the farmer's market in the past. We will still be there, but Dave and Dan are really fixing it up! You should see these two working! It's like watching a couple of bees in fast motion!

They are putting in a huge fireplace and conversation area.

A few weeks ago, Dave went to an auction and got a great deal on some restaurant equipment so they are building an ice cream bar in the garage too.

Can't wait to see the finished product! It should be pretty much complete next week!

We will be bringing the citrus fruit  and the rosemary we brought from my parents house last month. I also have some aloe plants, noodles and other dried herbs that I've kept in the freezer this winter.

Hope to see you there!

God Bless You All!
