Saturday June 24, 2017 is all about the kids at the Farmers Market on the Square in Columbia. Here’s your chance to get them up off the couch and disconnected from technology for a day.
Everyone’s invited to join us at the Farmers Market on the Square for Kid’s Nutrition Day on Saturday June 24, 2017, 8am – 1pm CT.
