FLORENCE, SC (WMBF) - The fall fruit and vegetable season has kicked into full gear, and now the Pee Dee State Farmers Market is celebrating local produce at the 2009 Fall Plant and Flower Festival.

The three-day festival, running from Oct. 2-4, has become an annual event in the Pee Dee that offers plants and flowers to spruce up any yard or garden. An assortment of pumpkins, mums and yard art will be available.
