It was a long road to opening with lots of hurdles to cross.

Lovingston kicks off its first Indoor Farm Market this coming weekend. Click on flyer to enlarge for more details.
Lovingston
Nelson County, Virginia
Lovingston will join Nellysford/Afton in the addition of an indoor farm market this winter. In years past the outdoor farm markets shut down at the end of the growing season, but the trend recently has been to move the markets indoors.
The Lovingston Indoor Farm Market organizers are asking people to help spread the word. The market will be held on the third Saturday of each month from November to April from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Nelson Center.
The November and December dates will be a great chance to do local holiday shopping. Lunch will be available from Relay for Life (chili) and Invisible Chef, and there will be live music. If you know of any vendors who would like to participate, including arts and crafters, please have them contact George Krieger at 263-8074 to register. There is no fee.

Nelson County, Virginia
After what sometimes seemed like an eternity, blue skies and sunshine finally made an appearance early Saturday afternoon in Nelson County and many other parts of Central & Western Virginia. As we have been telling you, continued rainfall associated with the remnants of Ida and a new low that became a nor’easter off the coast spread 3-5 inches of rain across Nelson with amount of 10 inches or more in some places across the state.
The remainder of the weekend looks fantastic with Saturday’s temps rising into the mid and upper 60’s in the valley with lower 70’s expected on Sunday.
The next several days beyond that rain free with the next best chance by next weekend.
