It's my off day again and I decided to check out the Lincoln Farmers Market, situated in a remnant piece of L-shape land tucked in between a pharmacy and residential dwellings. Excellent use of open space and a great opportunity for the community to get together. It's a small and vibrant market with good country music, local produce and food. There was a scarecrow competition today and everyone was invited to vote for their favourite scarecrow.

Results were announced at 12 noon and guess who won? Recycle Girl came in third in the children category, Sally (first row second from left) won the adults category and the black cat with pink coat (first row first from right) won the people's choice category. Prizes were sponsored by local shops. The organising committee donated a gift hamper to the main sponsor who initially wanted to donate it and later agreed to auction it. A man won a lucky draw (the prize was a big cookie) participated in the auction and also won the auction with the last bid of $50. The main sponsor donated his $50 to a local primary school. Love the way this community supports each other.
