When I look back on the 2025 season of the Lake Andes Farmers Market, I will be grateful for the vendors who became a part of our Farmers Market family. We are not mighty, but we are committed to maintaining a market in Lake Andes. The market offers a time for socializing, learning about new techniques for gardening or food preservation or sharing a recipe for one of the vegetables or fruits we have for sale.

Like a play, there is no flash photography or recording during the performances. During competitions, students perform at the same time. Therefore, this showcase is the first time that many students can watch their peers’ performance. As a coach, it has been fun to watch each participants growth throughout the season. This event has always been a favorite and provides even more excitement prior to Regions because the students can finally watch each other perform, support and celebrate each other.
