Correction  April 16, 2010

Editor:  I wrote an article about the Fairgrounds, its Master Plan, and its environmental stewardship for the February 2010 Sandpiper issue entitled "Trust your Eyes not Your Ears."  In that article I referenced that the Master Plan proposes:  "...1 million square feet of new development at the fairgrounds."  This should have said "...1 million square feet of construction of which about 300,000 feet reflects new projects and the balance demolition and rebuilding."

It’s Not Just About Food
Piper Underwood During my conversation with Alan, my question changed to “What makes Del Mar Farmers’ Market unique?” He explained that the vision of the women who started the farmers’ market some 20 years ago was not to turn a profit, but to bring the concept of healthy living to Del Mar, and to make the connection between the local farms and the local community. It would be a place to commune once a week and talk about the goings on in town.  more>>
