Our trip to the local farmers market turned into a MLK day parade!


We decided to go to the Leesburg Saturday morning market in down town Leesburg. They have the best local honey and fresh produce. Plus you never know what you might find. They have fresh baked bread from the Yalaha Bakery and goat cheese products, home made soap. Most everything is organic and local and fresh.
Today when we got there we noticed they had blocked off the street. Not unusual they are always doing some thing in Leesburg. We didn't see a lot of people gathered around so we thought we would go check out if the market was shut down or not. We got there and it was not. We had a good time picking out some really nice green beans and a big jar of honey, some free range organic eggs and a big ol' cabbage. Pretty soon more people started gathering and before we new it. Bam! there was a MLK day parade.
So we decided to stay and watch some of it. It was a very nice parade. We noticed there weren't very many black people at the parade. I don't know if they didn't support it or they did a bad job of advertising it this year. It was still a nice parade.
Vegetables sold here!

This guy wasn't marching but he was supporting differences.


More marchers.


Happy Birthday Robert E. Lee!
