For three more weeks local farmers and artisans will be bringing their goods to Omaha’s Old Market area offering a greener alternative to supermarket produce. Shopping at farmer’s markets is not only a good way to support local farmers, but also a charming way to spend a Saturday morning. See the hobbies category on our event calendar for details on Farmer’s Market hours and location. </span><span style="FONT-SIZE:9pt;FONT-FAMILY:Arial;">--Olivia </span> <p><a href="http://i329.photobucket.com/albums/l374/katrablac/farmersmarket.jp"></a> </p> </article> <article> <h1>Fall Brings Free Entertainment for Families</h1> <p>Olivia — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 23:36:00 GMT</p> <p></p><span style="FONT-SIZE:9pt;FONT-FAMILY:Arial;">It seems Labor Day was an effective beacon of fall this year: The leaves may not be turning yet, but I've had to pull out a sweater or two.
