: i tv -.-v r Lincoln revives farmer's market (J f lSQ: Each Saturday until September 6, 12th Street between N and 0 will be a downtown block with a pleasant difference. The Downtown Lincoln Promotional Council sponsors a farmers' market at that location. They issue permits for $2 a day or $15 for the season to anyone, farmer or otherwise. Pickup trucks become vendors' displays for agate jewelry and zucchini, macrame and needlepoint, woodwork and sweet corn. The council hopes the garden harvest will attract good crowds and intend to add a little bluegrass music in coming weeks. People who can't find anything of interest to buy might want to sit on the curb . in the shade and watch people smile. . ri . ft - V - C 3 X, - - -j- I ; ...
