State Representative Wayne Rosenthal marked the beginning of this summer's Farmers Market at the Illinois State Fairgrounds in Springfield. The market will be open every Thursday from May 15 to September 25, between 3:30 PM and 7:00 PM. It offers a variety of fresh produce, meats, cheeses, baked goods, and handmade products, all sourced from within Illinois.

The event also features live music and food trucks in a family-friendly environment. "Support local. Eat fresh," is the message promoted by organizers. The market is located at The Shed (Gate 3) on the fairgrounds.
