Nineteen vendors set up tents on the lawn in front of the Pavilion at Wire Park in Watkinsville on Saturday as the Oconee Farmer’s Market kicked off its 22nd season.
Vendors offered fresh lettuce and other salad greens, arugula, radishes, mushrooms, spinach, cherry tomatoes, and herbs.
More than 750 people turned out Saturday afternoon for a Hands Off Rally on the steps of City Hall in Athens to protest the policies and activities of President Donald Trump and his advisor Elon Musk.
Oconee County Democrats co-organized the event with Indivisible GA 10 and Athens-Clarke County Democrats, and Oconee County Democratic Party leadership was on-hand–and Oconee County residents were in the crowd–as the 90-minute-long rally played out.
