For the past couple of weeks, local muralist Rick Fuller has been painting the North Third Street windows of the former Liquidation World building.
His latest public work features a brick facade and the different Yakima Farmers Market posters from over the years -- all 10 of them.
Yes, Sunday marks the opening day of the 10th annual downtown market, where you can stock up on fresh produce, locally made honey, baked goods and, of course, Miz Dee's super-popular -- for good reason -- barbecued ribs and chicken.
The Yakima Farmers Market is open from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. Sundays through Oct. 26 in front of the Capitol Theatre, 19 S. Third St. More information is available at www.yakimafarmersmarket.org or by calling 457-5765.
