Located inside the old Courthouse, at the corner of Ballard and Main Street, sits the Gallery at York Hall. Once you step inside, you're immediately surrounded by walls and tables of jewelry, paintings, wood carvings, pottery, stained glass, and more. Each new find pulls your attention in a different direction, making it easy to get lost in the sea of local talent. The work of more than 300 different artists is on display here. Before you know it, you've spent hours browsing (and if you're like me, choosing) some of these unique items to take home.

Do you know where your groceries come from—how your meat was butchered or how your tomatoes were grown? If ever there was a reason to shop local, it’s when it comes to your family’s health. If ever there was a time to do it, it’s tomorrow, August 12, for National Farmers Market Week!
