We will encourage shopping with $200 in donations we received, each shopper that makes a purchase from our Panola County Farmers Market Vendors on the kick off day, Saturday June 3rd, will be entered for a chance to win $25 cash, there will be two drawings for $25 each at 9AM, 10AM, 11AM and 12 Noon.
