      <description><![CDATA[<p>&#160;</p>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">This is a special “Info Night” to show potential “Activity Sponsors” how they can participate in this important Howard County initiative.&#160;Organizations can be local business owners, non-profits, government or any wellness professional interested in contributing to the wellness of our community. &#160;Stay Active Howard County is a year-round initiative promoting physical activity, nutrition and healthy living.&#160;While Get Active Howard County (GAHC) has been around for a number of years, its full potential has not been realized. &#160;&#160;Beginning this year, GAHC, and now SAHC, will be expanding to reach all areas of the county.&#160;&#160; This is an opportunity for all activity sponsors involved to realize an increasingly valuable opportunity, and a chance to show their support for the community.&#160;</div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt">Each sponsor will determine their own level of involvement.&#160;There is no direct cost involved in participating.&#160;This meeting will provide you with an understanding of how you can be listed on our activity calendar and will also allow you to begin creating important cross relationships with other supporting organizations. &#160;&#160;If you know of any organization or individual that you believe would add value by supporting wellness in our schools, worksite or community, we invite them to attend.</div>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>&#160;FARMERS' MARKET</p>
<p>Buyin and eating fresh local produce in Howard County just got easier!&#160; From June 4 through October 29, local farmers will set up a weekly outdoor market at Howard County General Hospital in the back section of the visitors' parking lot to offer the best of their seasonal harvest.&#160;</p>
<p>Market hours will be from 2pm until 6pm every Friday- just in time to stock up for the weekend.</p>
<p>The market is part of the Howard County Economic Development Authority's agricultural marketing program to support local agriculture.&#160; Howard County Farmers' Markets are producer-only, which means vendors can only sell what they grow or produce from products raised on their farms.&#160; They feature the season's freshest, locally grown produce, baked goods, fruits, flowers, and specialty items like honey and soap.</p>
<p>To find a list of seasonally available produce visit <a href="http://www.hceda.org">www.hceda.org</a></p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>&#160;FARMERS' MARKET</p>
<p>Buyin and eating fresh local produce in Howard County just got easier!&#160; From June 4 through October 29, local farmers will set up a weekly outdoor market at Howard County General Hospital in the back section of the visitors' parking lot to offer the best of their seasonal harvest.&#160;</p>
<p>Market hours will be from 2pm until 6pm every Friday- just in time to stock up for the weekend.</p>
<p>The market is part of the Howard County Economic Development Authority's agricultural marketing program to support local agriculture.&#160; Howard County Farmers' Markets are producer-only, which means vendors can only sell what they grow or produce from products raised on their farms.&#160; They feature the season's freshest, locally grown produce, baked goods, fruits, flowers, and specialty items like honey and soap.</p>
