According to a press release from the City of Hendersonville, Saturday's Hendersonville Farmers Market has been called off due to the potential heavy rain coming from the impact of Tropical Storm Ian.
Officials have been monitoring Tropical Storm Ian, and it was expected to impact Western North Carolina and Hendersonville beginning Friday and lasting through the weekend.
"For the safety of our vendors and public, the Hendersonville Farmers Market will be canceled... while we are a rain or shine market, this weekend's anticipated weather event has the potential to create an unsafe environment and we do not want to add any possible strain to our emergency management partners," the city said in the release.
The Farmers Market will continue the following Saturday, Oct. 8.
Organizers for Farm City Day have also decided to cancel this year's event, which was scheduled for Saturday in Jackson Park. In a Facebook post for Farm City Day, predicted heavy rain and wind were the reasons given for canceling the annual event.
