24.I visited "Sakano Station Pontte" in Ryokuen.

　On Saturday, July 17, while the bright sunlight was shining from the summer sun, I visited "Ryokuen-Saka no Eki Pont," which sells local vegetables in front of Midorien-shi Station entrance intersection.
　This activity is one of the initiatives of the Ryokuen District Revitalization Committee, which consists of people living in the Ryokuen area. We sell seasonal vegetables in cooperation with farmers in Izumi Ward.
　Before the opening of 15:00, the locals began to gather and the line was so prosperous that the line was formed. Some people came saying, "Because it's okay to have a wheelchair," and regulars who say, "I came again because the green soybeans I bought last time was delicious." After 10 years, activities launched for the purpose of local production for local consumption and shopping support seemed to have become fully established. Above all, it was impressive that both those who buy and sell it were fun with a bright smile enough to blow away the heat.
　This season ended on July 24th. It is said that autumn is scheduled to begin around October. We look forward to the opening of autumn to see what vegetables and fruits can meet.
