SPRING MILLS -- The weather was springlike on Saturday, and the atmosphere of the indoor farmers market at the Old Gregg Community Center made it feel a lot less like winter.

The indoor market will open from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday at 106 School St., and then at the same location from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. every Saturday through May, except for Feb. 7 when the market will take a break so vendors can attend the Pennsylvania Association for Sustainable Agriculture conference.
