GEORGETOWN, KY, UNITED STATES, May 2, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The heart of downtown Georgetown is set to bloom with local flavor and community spirit as it celebrates the grand opening of the new Scott County Farmers' Market Pavilion on Saturday, May 10. The Georgetown/Scott County Chamber of Commerce will host a ribbon-cutting ceremony, which will commence at 8:30 AM at the corner of Broadway and Washington Streets, marking the beginning of the market's opening day, which will run until 12:30 PM.

"This pavilion is more than just a structure; it's a testament to our community's dedication to local agriculture and entrepreneurship," said Char Williams, President of the Scott County Farmers' Market. "We're thrilled to offer a space that supports our farmers and artisans and serves as a gathering place for events throughout the year."

This state-of-the-art pavilion was made possible through a collaborative effort involving the Scott County Fiscal Court, the City of Georgetown, the Kentucky Agricultural Development Fund (KADF), and the Scott County Extension Office.

Judge-Executive Joe Pat Covington emphasized the project's significance, “I am grateful to the Fiscal Court for their support of the capital investment for this project. This could not have become a reality without the City Council and their partnership with the location and the collaboration from the Kentucky Department of Agriculture and our Ag. Extension. Investing in this pavilion reflects our commitment to our local producers and vendors and enhancing the quality of life in Scott County. It's a wonderful addition to downtown Georgetown that will serve our community in numerous ways, from supporting local producers to hosting public events.”

"The new structure expands the market's capacity from 16 to over 30 vendor spaces, providing a venue for various events beyond the traditional Farmers’ Market. Attendees can enjoy music throughout the morning, and food truck Nice Nachos adds to the festive atmosphere.
