Wyandotte Farmers Market Farmer's Fair is Today

The weekly farmers market comes to a close for another season.

It’s a taste of the country in the heart of the city.

The Wyandotte Downtown Development Authority invites the community to its Farmer's Fair, from 4-7 p.m. today at the corner of First and Elm.

“Last year’s event was a huge success, and people of all ages had a great time,” Wyandotte DDA Director Natalie Rankine said. “We'll have sack races, three-legged races, a tug-of-war, produce contest, bounce and other activities for the whole family.”
