Youth Day at the West Broad Farmer’s Market

The West Broad Farmer’s Market celebrated Youth Day on Sept. 17 with live music, hot meals and games. Youth Day is part of the market’s initiative to host fun in-person events once a month to help support the market’s vendors. Broadcast Reporter Melanie Frick talks about how the market struggled during the COVID-19 pandemic but is working to make a comeback through in-person events and continued support for the Athens community.
