Nancy Myers started the Good Living Marketplace a little more than a year ago and this Saturday there will be another gathering of people in downtown Hartsville (rain or shine). This Marketplace, coming in February, is at the mercy of the weather but we have been pretty fortunate with weather. The Satuday (2-6-10) them is "Souper Bowl Saturday" Cook-off? Cook-off participants will be local restaurants.
When I talk with Nancy Myers I always get charged up about the difference one person can make. She was discussing a new project that will be allied with the Marketplace. It turns out that in our area we do not have that many "produce" farmers. Now, there are some notable produce producers and they did exhibit at the marketplace but we are not overwhelmed. She has found a potential site for a community garden spot that will allow people in Hartsville to get some small plots on which they will be able to plant produce that they will then be able to sell. She has even found some volunteers who will help prepare the entire garden. This is going to be interesting as it unfolds.
We have to believe that there are lots more projects like this one that can be realized one upon the other so that we are able to build a critical mass of hope as we work to make Hartsville into one of the best communities to live.
