The high winds presented some challenges, but not enough to keep the first Charles City 2021 Downtown Farmers Market from happening at Central Park in Charles City on Saturday. Vendors offered fresh produce, home, garden and yard decor, honey, plants, baked goods and craft items, among many other things, to kick off the season. The market will run twice a week through the spring and summer, from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturdays and from 3:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Wednesdays.
