Next weekend when you visit the farmers’ market, take notice of the new tables and chairs near the musicians. Lora Pritchard, an Apex resident and regular market shopper, generously donated money toward the purchase of the tables and chairs.
Lora’s donation is in memory of her grandfather, Arthur Wayne Neel, who passed away in June. He was a farmer most of his life, and in later years, he kept his own small garden with vegetables and flowers. Lora said he was well known around town in Tazewell, Virginia, for his garden.
Along with her husband Ewan, and daughters Kira, who is five years old, and Ellie, who is 11 months old, Lora has been shopping the market since shortly after it opened in May. “We come every week that we’re in town, and we love it. We love the atmosphere. It’s a nice way to spend time with family.” Lora said they enjoy eating breakfast at the market, listening to the bands and buying the fresh breads, vegetables and fruits. Lora’s daughters are especially enjoying the juicy peaches right now!
The Pritchard family has visited other markets, but Lora said they love coming to the Western Wake Farmers’ Market. “It has the best variety and atmosphere, and it fits our family best.” We’re glad to have you and your family, Lora, and thanks for your donation!
