F-41 @jendallas
F for Farmerās Market. Great photo. I look for them where ever I go visiting new towns. The farmersā markets have the best produce, bread, and food. There is a huge one here that turned into an event! Thanks, Jennifer.
Name Game-40 @CalicoBeer
Very creative- M for marquee! I like this one of the Cotton Club. Many little cities tucked away still have the old theaters. Sadly some have turned into venues like churches, indoor swap meets/ flea markets. Our $1.00 movie theatre closed down during pandemic. I sure miss it. Thank you, Victoria.
Group R-41 filled and I sent the address list - have fun!
