Bradenton, Florida -- Every Saturday from October to May, Downtown Bradenton has a Farmers' Market! Since May is winding down, make sure you get to experience the market before it's summer!

The Farmers' Market takes place on Old Main Street, 12th Street West in Downtown Bradenton. Here the community meets each week to enjoy fresh produce, local art, upbeat music and free family activity. 

There are over 40 vendors who offer fruits, vegetables, prepared food and local artwork. 

HOLMES BEACH, Florida -- It's a structure straight out of the imagination, eight feet up a giant Australian Pine tree on Anna Maria Island.

"This is what took us six months to build," said a very proud Richard Hazen, climbing up the steps into his labor of love.

Two years ago, it was the tree right out Richard and his wife Lynn's back window that inspired them to build the overgrown fort. Richard said he made a special trip to city hall to find out what permits he might need, but was told they didn't need one.
