Hello, friends of the Cheat Lake Farmers’ Market!
Tomorrow (Monday, June 4) will be the first Cheat Lake Farmers’ Market of the 2012 season. Like last season, the market will be held from 4-7pm in the parking lot of the Chestnut Ridge Church (2223 Cheat Road, across from Ruby & Ketchy’s Restaurant). I hope you’re all able to make it!
