Lake City’s Thursday Market has a new look this year: more advertising, more visitors, more reasons to come, more fun to be had.
“We are much encouraged by the great start we are seeing,” said John Marshall, a member of the market committee.
There’s another new program offered at Thursday’s market. The market now accepts EBT or the Electronic Benefits Transfer program which is a debit card available to Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program participants. It can only be used to buy food and is very efficient and secure as well.
