We had a great turnout for the first indoor Olney Farmers and Artists Market of 2013, inside the Sandy Spring Museum. Although there was not enough room for all of our usual vendors, many were there (and others will be there in the coming weeks). And so were the other amenities: music, demos, kid’s activities, cafe seating. And: indoor plumbing!
The Dr. Bird Room (the big, octagonal room) held the food vendors, cafe seating, a wine and chocolate tasting, and acoustic music.
The Winery at Olney teamed up with Steven Howard Chocolates to present a wine and chocolate tasting. Two of my favorite tastes at once!
Our farmers were lined up in the Produce Hall, except for Homestead Farm, which was set up outside the Museum.
The Exhibit Hall and Quilt Room each held artists. The kid’s activities were in a room right off the Quilt Room.
Nancy MacBride of Falcon Ridge Farm was selling her knit scarves. She has promised to lead a knitting workshop on February 24th. We’re off to a great start!
