The birds were twittering, the temperature was practically perfect and the wind was still on a recent morning in downtown Henderson. Eager vendors at the Country Fresh Farmers Market were hoping locals would take advantage of the spring weather by strolling through their booths.

There was fresh fruit, vegetables, handmade baskets, porcelain dolls, jewelry and more on display under temporary canopies in a parking lot on Pacific Street, between Market Street and Atlantic Avenue.
