Demand has ramped up in only a few years so that already Valdosta Farm Days has
expanded its days and pedestrianized a street.
City of Valdosta PR 15 May 2013,
City Announces Road Closure for Downtown Valdosta Farm Days,
In anticipation of the large number of vendors expected for the
Downtown Valdosta Farm Days this Saturday, May 18, from 9 a.m. to 1
p.m., the City of Valdosta is announcing an expected road closure to
help citizens plan their travel downtown.
Valley Street will be closed between N. Ashley and N. Patterson
Streets, from 7 a.m. until approximately 2 p.m. Adequate traffic
safety measures will be in place to alert the traveling public, as
the closure will prohibit traffic traveling east and west on Valley
Street during this time.
Farm Days takes place on the sidewalks around the historic
courthouse in downtown Valdosta, on the first and third Saturday of
every month, rain or shine, through the end of October. By popular
demand, the market will take place every Saturday during the month
of June.
Citizens are invited to enjoy the activities associated with the
Downtown Valdosta Farm Days. For more information about Main Street
events, contact the Main Street office at (229) 259-3577. For
information about street closures, call the Engineering Department
at (229) 259-3530.
There’s no mention of any of this on the
Lowndes County Commission website.

Gretchen reports it was congenial but poorly attended, presumably
because there are no local political races undecided that affect Hahira:
both County Commission Districts 2 and 5 are already done,
and there’s no county Chairman or Sheriff race, and no Hahira city races
this year.
The only Hahira City Council member there was Terry Benjamin,
although Police Chief Terry Davis and City Manager Jonathan Sumner were there,
plus Wayne Bullard, who according to
Hahira’s website is still Mayor.
