Superking and I took a trip out to the Leesburg Farmers Market this morning. The weather was a little muggy but not too hot. And the market was bustling and the produce was flowing.

I read this morning in the farmers market newsletter that they're having a photo contest...
Farmers Market Photo Contest
As part of the Farmers Market Week celebration, VDACS is sponsoring a Photo Contest in three age groups, as well as for the most photographed market. The deadline is Wednesday, August 17, 2011, to send in an original photo taken at a local farmers market. Four winners, one child 12 or under, one teenager and one adult, will receive a prize package of Virginias Finest and Virginia Grown products worth at least $100. The farmers market with the most entries also will receive a special prize package. Complete details, contest rules and a release form are available online at www.virginiagrown.com I was able to take a bunch of beautiful photos this morning. Do you think any of these have a chance at winning? Make your votes!!
