Many vendors suffered from cancelled events in 2020, but now they can get out again as the Downtown Lima Farmers Market gears up for another year. Last summer, the market was held in the empty lot behind Old City Prime to accommodate a drive-thru and social distancing. Now, they are back to their normal location in front of the Veterans Civic Center in downtown Lima. Market manager Jennifer Fickel says everyone is excited to return for the first day, and this year will bring a chance to incorporate activities again.
