Spring is in the air and Salina Downtown Inc., SDI Executive Director, Leslie Bishop stops by to share about the new farm and art market kicking off in downtown Salina on Saturday, May 18.
"Currently, we have 22 vendors, but we believe that the number will grow as the market season moves along," said Salina Downtown Inc. Executive Director, Leslie Bishop. "We would like everyone to know that tomorrow may look a little 'crazy.' We will be getting all the vendors settled in their spaces for the first time."
