The Main Street Farmer’s Market has been cancelled for Thursday, July 2nd because of the current heat wave that is baking much of the United States, including Washington County. Tracie Liberatore, the markets administrator, says they really had no choice. She says they’ve been keeping an eye on the weather forecast and Thursday is expected to be the hottest day this week, with actual temperatures in the upper 90’s and the heat index heading into triple digits. She says many of the markets customers are older and could be at risk if they spend too much time outdoors. In addition, she says a few vendors had already cancelled because they were concerned that their products could not have survived the heat and that sales, because of the heat, would not be up to par. Liberatore says this is the first time she can remember, since her involvement with the market, that it has been cancelled because of the weather. Brighter days are ahead though. Liberatore says they are excited for the next market, on July 9th. She says that will be the official kick-off for the Whiskey Rebellion Festival, and this year will be extra special because of the America250 Celebration. She says she and all of the volunteers that make the festival happen are super excited to showcase the history of Washington.
