The heat may have caused the Italian ice line to remain packed Saturday, but the crowds kept coming to celebrate Juneteenth at G.R.O.W. Plant City’s inaugural Laura Street Market.
Home-cooked food, including barbecue and delectable deserts, was being purchased in mass quantities by attendees, many of whom camped out for several hours Saturday. The unique local small businesses spread throughout the property showed just why it’s crucial to shop local. You could pick up everything from bracelets to athletic apparel, from art to perfume.
The DJ drew many to an impromptu dance floor and G.R.O.W. Plant City members tested the attendee’s knowledge with trivia questions. Those who answered correctly received vouchers they could redeem at any vendor on site.
G.R.O.W. Plant City proved it is a group to be watched as it sailed through its first event with ease. You can currently follow G.R.O.W. Plant City on Instagram and Facebook or you can email growplantcity@gmail.com to learn more.
