Market Vendors Receive Awards


Four vendors from the Ashe County Farmers' Market won awards in the fall of 2008 at the North Carolina State Fair for their homegrown and handmade products.

Joe and Mary Stanley of Warrensville were awarded multiple ribbons. Joe received two blue ribbons for his Wolf River and Northern Spy apples. Mary won another blue ribbon for her homemade sour cherry preserves.

Opal Essick of Nathans Creek entered her wonderful apple butter and won a second place ribbon. This was her first entry ever at the State Fair!

Wilma Kreider entered her spicy homemade red salsa and took third place out of 35 entries.

Congratulations to all!
