"I am a huge supporter of the Winooski Farmers Market. The Downtown Winooski organization brings many great things to our community. Being a Winooski resident myself, this is extremely important to me. A city is only as cool as its farmers market and thriving downtown vibe. We are a community of good people doing good things! - Antara Gatch
