Farm Appreciation Day


Saturday was Farm Appreciation Day at the Farmer's market in downtown Rocky Mount. 




This display of woodenware was impressive.


Old school books and a basket of lye soap. (I bought a cake of the soap for 50 cents.)


Flour sacks were once a source of yard goods for home seamstresses. 


Take a closer look. You might have to click to enlarge the photo to read the sign. 


This dress was made of flour sacks.


I should have taken pictures of the cows (I arrived too late for the milking contest) or the farm machinery, but I didn't. I see plenty of cows and farm machinery in my neighborhood.
