There is a lot going on in the small town of DeSoto on Saturday, April 20th. Here’s your preview:

• The farmers’ market opens! It will just be a soft opening, and because it is so early in the year, scant vegetables will be available. However, we hope to have some cold crops, like lettuce, winter onions, spinach, etc. We’ll also have bedding plants, some baked goods, and a few artisans to round out the date. The market will open that day at the normal time: 8 AM. You might check out information about our new Loyalty Club too.
• Our Annual Tractor Parade will begin at 10 AM. If you haven’t submitted your form to bring your tractor, please get that to Pat. We are so very fortunate to have her coordinate our parade, and there will be some volunteers walking the route handing out seed packets too. The Little League will follow us, so be ready for kids.
• Cornhole Tournament? Well, we’re glad you asked! That begins at 2 PM with set up starting as soon as the market closes at noon. Main & Mill Brewing Company will be hanging out selling beverages, and we’ll have a food vendor with hamburgers, chicken sandwiches, and other treats. In fact, we are very excited about this event. Don’t wait though. Registration forms need to be submitted by April 12th so that the bracket can be set up.
