The Great Falls Community Farmers Market lured locals to the Village Center at 778 Walker Road, Great Falls, at the start of the Labor Day weekend. Open Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., the outdoor summer market proved “a place for community spirit” as heralded on its website, Great Falls Farmers Market.

The vision-driven market fulfills residents’ wishes expressed in the Great Falls 2020 Vision Survey to have a local farmers market to build a vibrant semi-rural center. Monica Kearns of Great Falls brought her three young daughters, Payton, 2, Kenna, 4, and Quinn, 6. “This is our second time coming. It’s a beautiful fun outing for the family,” she said. Kearns said the music was a draw, as well as the two artists painting the scene. Asked what she liked best, Quinn said, “The people doing the art.”
