The Avondale Estates folks were out in large numbers supporting their favorite vendors and they hope to do it again next week. (Avondale Estates Farmer's Market via Facebook)
• Many little pups are awaiting adoption at the Doggie Harmony Rescue. If you are "on the fence" when it comes to committing to an adoption, you may consider fostering a pup, as some do. (Doggie Harmony Rescue via Facebook)
• A huge thanks went out to everyone who visited the Librarian Christina Tatum and McCain intern Jada Beasley at the March Mobile Librarian installment last week.
