Medina Square Farmers Market opens amid lax COVID rules
Medina Square Farmers Market opened its season on Broadway Street with many customers and vendors ignoring COVID 19 related rules. Some entered and traveled the square differently, masks were worn by few, and six foot distancing was inconsistent. Despite reduced compliance, organizers were encouraged by turnout and the delayed start. The market runs Saturdays through Oct 17 and is sponsored by Cleveland Clinic Medina Hospital.
