The Francesville area has many residents that grow outstanding vegetable gardens. This is proven true each and every week with a visit to the Pulaski County Farmers’ Market.
Each year the Francesville Fall Festival gives our Master Gardeners a chance to show off their prize-winning produce at the FFF Vegetable Contest. Categories include Sunflowers, Field Corn, Popcorn, Squash as well as common garden vegetables. Prizes are given for winners in areas such as largest, heaviest, and even most unusual!
