Saturday officially marked the end of the local growing season as the Durango Farmers Market held its final sale of the season. After months of Saturday mornings in the First National Bank parking lot along 8th Street, the fresh produce, live music and community gathering will have to wait to until next year. Fortunately, there was still a bunch of fresh, locally grown produce on hand and the smell of fresh bread and coffee kept the crowds coming. The weather also came through in fine form for the final gathering of growers and shoppers and the music of Melissa Crabtree kept everyone moving as a summer morning turned into a fall afternoon.
