Despite the 90-degree heat and slow pace of life, Sunday afternoons in Farmville can be quite exciting and adventurous. From biking the High Bridge Trail, eating downtown or purchasing cold ice cream from a traveling salesman, residents and visitors alike find plenty to do. Many were out and about Sunday afternoon taking in the sun and keeping cool indoors.
