A lot of residents voted to have lunch or supper courtesy of the Emporia Farmers Market on Election Day.
The market’s Soup-a-Palooza brought a lot of people to the Lyon County Fairgrounds Anderson Building to eat a variety of soups and enjoy a chance to get together. That combination has helped to make the event a community mainstay, according to Market Director Trisha Fullerton.
Fullerton says there was a big rush at the start and consistent attendance throughout.
Residents chose between sausage potato, creamy tomato, vegetable beef or chicken tortellini. They also took advantage of a silent auction. Fundraising totals are currently pending.
The Farmers Market is currently into its winter season. The next winter market is Nov. 19 at Waters Hardware.
