Sharon Kennedy says:
Love this recap of events in July – but why was Every Wednesday Fullerton Certified Farmers Market left out? Especially since it is moving from the library to new location at the Senior/Boys & Girls Club/ Community Center parking lot across Commonwealth starting Wednesday July 7, 8am to 12 noon. Hope you can add it. Thanks for a great community newspaper!
