LAST DAY FOR ESPANOLA FARMERS' MARKET
Hurry over to the Espanola Farmers' Market today because it's the last day of the season. It will take some hardy souls because winter has laid a light layer of snow on the countryside, but don't despair. Bargains are still available! And watch for the award winners for 2009 which will be posted soon.
