On May 19th from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM, community members will discuss their vision, goals, and a preferred location for the Loyal Farmers' Market and on May 20th from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, a workshop will be conducted for those who want to "roll-up their sleeves" and dive into the details of the action plan.
