Market Report

Loving arts and crafts at any age or gender is nothing to be ashamed of. If the thought of turning a zucchini into a muscle car excites you, hold your head high at the Magnolia Farmers Market this Saturday for the Zucchini 500, where all the pipe cleaners, googly eyes, and wooden wheels you'll need to make a squash look like a race car will be provided. When you've finished your masterpiece, check out the new produce arriving, like early peppers (hot and sweet varieties) and pole beans. Plus, melons are finally here, including watermelons, honeydew, and cantaloupe. Free. Every week Saturday from Sat., May 23 until Sat., October 10, 10 a.m.-2 p.m.
