No Veggies, no market: Claresholm season ends early

This summer has been a little different in the southern Alberta town of Claresholm. After more than four decades in the community, the Claresholm Farmers Market has had to cancel the remainder of its season due to a lack of vegetable suppliers. Market manager Jackie Cooper Blair says it was a tough decision…

Blair says long-time organizer Barbara Uhl has also announced her retirement from the market after 30+ years. Blair says she wants to publicly thank her for all her hard work.
