Most Blogged Photo-op in Town
Like the rest of Floyd, I've been watching the new Floyd Community Market take shape for weeks now and stopped for the above photo after my friend Rowan (right) hollered down to me from the roof.
A downtown farmer's market and more, built with the goal of supporting local food and commerce, the timber framed pavilion will be dedicated next Saturday at Floyd's first annual SplitRail Eco-Fair in conjunction with 350.org's International Day of Climate Change Action. Doug Thompson at Blue Ridge Muse has photos of the recent barn raising workday and Fragments From Floyd's Fred First has written about the Eco-Fair and the Community Market in a post titled "Celebrating Sustainable Relationships."

Your town has such a wonderful sense of community spirit. Wish I had grown up there.

what building is it being built beside?

It's being built in between two already standing buildings. The one you can see some is a newly renovated old building with apartments and businesses now called The Station.

That is one spiffy looking building! Kudos to Woody Crenshaw for building it. I hope that there is room for two farmer's markets in town, though ....
