The long winter is over! How do we know? The Wallingford Farmers Market kicks back into gear this Wednesday, May 30th, 3:30-7:00 p.m. After a tumultuous, community rendering debate on its location, you may remember, it landed over at Meridian Park behind the Good Shepherd Center, and, while there remains some imperfections with this spot (some neighbors are bothered by the parking shenanigans), in general it was a huge success. The trees and park gave a bucolic backdrop to the market…
