Tomorrow I am going to go to the Williamsburg/Yorktown area. While in Williamsburg, I am going to check out the Williamsburg Farmer's Market .
Like many such markets, it is seasonal and held on Saturday mornings from 8 a.m. to 12 noon.
I heard about this market on Travelscope, a wonderful, friendly little travel program featuring traveler Joseph Rosendo. It's on PBS, (non-cable Channel 57 or 23-2) .
For cooling assistance for senior citizens call 804-343-3005.
Leave your name, phone number and a good time to call and someone will get back to you ASAP.
