I was flabbergasted when I walked out of the Bar-K-Bar Arena building in Lyons and saw that huge parking lot filled with vehicles at the first Market of Farms in 2022. More than 1,400 people came to buy from the 42 vendors we had set up in the Celebration Centre, just south of the Bar-K-Bar Arena.

Have you ever had an idea grab hold of you so tight, it just will not let go? You think about it, research it, ask other people about and try to let it go, but it just keeps hanging on? Then you try to make the idea come to reality and you get great traction, then, poof, it is gone? But you cannot quite give it up, so you wait. And wait. And wait.
