The contests begin at
By Mary Ellen Childree
Saturday morning was over
cast at the Jasper Park and Ride.
Rain looked imminent, but by
7:30 a.m. 45 vendors were set
up with their homegrown/home
made products at the Jasper
Farmers" Market. It was the
largest Market of the year.
Twenty-six of the vendors
offered fresh produce. The pro
duce included: cabbage, com,
cucumbers, garlic, green beans,
lettuce, mushrooms, okra,
onions, peppers (green, banana
and jalapeno), potatoes, a vari
ety of squash and tomatoes.
Much of this was picked that
morning.
Along with the fresh produce
there were fresh flowers, a won
derful selection of plants and
many quality homemade items.
The overcast sky made it a
pleasant morning for shopping
and visiting.
Saturday began the “Biggest
Big Ole Tomato in Pickens
County’’ and the “Longest
Homegrown Squash in Pickens
County” contests. Judging was
at 10 a.m. sharp. There were
three entries in each contest this
week. Gene and Peggy Jordan
won the “Biggest Big Ole
Tomato” contest with their
tomato weighing in at 2.08
pounds. Kelly Johnson won the
“Longest Homegrown Squash”
contest with her zucchini squash
measuring 40 1/4 inches long.
They will remain the winners
until someone can top their
number. Congratulations Gene,
Peggy and Kelly. The contest
will continue until the last
Saturday in August. A record
will be kept of each week’s win
ners, and the final winner will
be announced and awarded a
grand prize on August 25.
Anyone is welcomed to enter
their squash and/or tomato. The
judging will be at 10 a.m. at the
entrance of the Market each
Saturday. There will also be a
“Largest Home-grown Winter
Squash” contest with the winner
announced the last Saturday in
September.
This is a reminder that the
Market is open on Wednesdays
too, offering the same choice,
fresh produce as on Saturday.
So if you happen to be out of
town for the weekend, there is
still an opportunity to take
advantage of this great resource
on Wednesdays.
The Jasper Farmers’ Market
is open every Saturday until
Oct. 27 and on Wednesdays
until August 29 (except there
will be no Market on Oct. 6).
The hours are 7:30 a.m. - 12
p.m. It is located in the Jasper
Park and Ride lot, off Highway
53, adjacent to Lee Newton Park
This week’s “Biggest Big Ole Tomato” contest winners,
Gene and Peggy Jordan.
Cherokee Genealogy Class
at the Bartow History Center
On Saturday, August 4, from
10 a.m. to noon, genealogist
Linda Gossett Cochran will lead
a workshop on researching
Cherokee ancestry at the Bartow

Researching one’s family
roots can be a very rewarding

also be difficult and frustrating
if you do not know all the avail
able resources and how to
access them. Cochran will lead
participants through the process
of following the different
avenues of research that help to
develop your family tree. She
has been involved in genealogy
since 1964 when she began trac
ing her own family’s ancestry.
She teaches classes on begin
ning and advanced genealogy,
as well as Native American and
African-American genealogy.
The workshop is geared for
those wanting to begin or con
tinue exploration of their Native
American roots. The cost of the
workshop is $15 per person and
covers all materials. Space is
limited. Call 770-607-3686 to
register.
The BHC is located at 13 N.
Wall Street, in downtown
Cartersville, next door to the
Grand Theatre. The workshop
will take place in the Resource
Center lecture hall, located
directly behind the Bartow
History Center. Parking is
available next to the building.
