WADESBORO — The Anson County Farmers Market kicked off its 2023 season on Saturday, May 27, at the Anson County Farmers Market building on Highway 52 South.
Board of Commissioners Chairman JD Bricken, Wadesboro Town Council member Steven “Chipper” Long and Anson County Chamber of Commerce representative Melanie Countee were on hand along with many visitors and vendors for the ceremonial ribbon cutting to celebrate the grand re-opening.
Leslie Lee, the market manager, had her daughters help her cut the ribbon. Fellow organizer Angela Caraway shared a few words to thank over a dozen Anson farm families, crafters and artisans who braved the cold and windy weather to join in the market.
“All of you here are making it a success already… whether it’s jewelry or tomato plants or pies or whatever you have, we thank you… for making that item and bringing it here today,” Lee said. “This is history.”
The Anson County Farmers Market will be open every Saturday from 8:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. until September 30 at 1736 US-52, Wadesboro.
