The Thanksgiving Peoria RiverFront holiday market will be 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday Nov. 23 in Dozer Park, 730 SW Jefferson. Vendors will be selling local produce, baked goods, holiday fare and more.

Several years ago, one Central Illinois organic farmer issued a challenge to discuss how many foods on your Thanksgiving Day table are from local farmers and bakers. Then discuss what local farmers and bakers provide for the local economy, environment and quality of life and give thanks!
