“At last weekend’s Augusta Market, you could feel the community spirit as record crowds came out to support one of the best events going on in our great city. As Malisa and the dogs and I sat having lunch and watching the crowd, I was struck by what a wonderful experience it was simply to watch a diverse crowd of local citizens check out all the vendors with smiles on their faces on a beautiful sunny day.  When we were leaving, a young man asked to shake my hand and stated “I can feel the change.”  Needless to say, this put another huge smile on my face.  I want to personally thank everyone who has worked so hard to make this event a success and to invite everyone to come out to support it this Saturday as you definitely won’t be disappointed”
