*Bonus blog with breaking news on the Uptown Farmers Market
We made it to spring, and, like flowers, the farmers markets soon will be opening.
The Mt. Lebanon Uptown Farmers Market starts on May 11. A project of the Mt. Lebanon Partnership, it runs from 9 a.m. to noon into October.

The Wednesday Mt. Lebanon Lions Farmers Market will open June 12 and run all the way through October this year at Mt. Lebanon United Lutheran Church at 975 Washington Road. The hours once again will be 4 to 7 p.m.
“We are supposed to have everyone back that was there last year,” my farmer friend Frank Zitibrosky told me earlier this week after the market organizers met. “The mushroom man will alternate on every other week with a new salsa person.”
