Great information about the Market. Gosh the beautiful greens makes me homesick. Our staple for the holidays. Sorry that I will miss out due to out of town travels.

Cynthia love those gourds in red.

Counting the days until the first tomato of 2010…and those delicious strawberries that show up in May.

Great pics, Cynthia!!

What I find so fascinating, and the reason I believe the Farmers Market is so attractive to so many, is that it has been a major enhancement to our sense of community downtown. It’s the people who make it what it is, vendors and customers equally.

The contained venue and the shops and restaurants all around help a great deal, as well. It wouldn’t be the same in a field in the countryside or in a parking lot. In the end, it’s community that adds meaning and value to our lives. We all want ‘Cheers’ deep in our bones.

“Making your way in the world today takes everything you’ve got.
Taking a break from all your worries, sure would help a lot.

Wouldn’t you like to get away?

Sometimes you want to go
Where everybody knows your name,
and they’re always glad you came.

You wanna be where you can see,
our troubles are all the same
You wanna be where everybody knows
Your name.

You wanna go where people know,
people are all the same,
You wanna go where everybody knows
your name.”
