RVCC Holiday Community Market & Pancake Breakfast
Afton, Virginia
Before the market kicked off, the regular Rockfish Valley Community Center Breakfast started the morning with lots of yummy food!
The first ever Holiday Community Market looks to be a great success from the number of folks that turned out Saturday at the RVCC following the regular breakfast there. It was sort of an after season extension of the Nelson Farmers Market held during the warm months in Nellysford.
Lots and lots of booths lined the old gym floor at RVCC.
Kelly Kahle, of Kelly’s just north of Nellysford on 151, chats it up with folks at Saturday’s event.

The crowd was entertained all day long by the sounds of Buzzard Hollow Boys, Ralph Rush & Red Drum Ramblers.
Milly Collella of Spruce Creek is obviously happy about her purchases!
