Farmers' Market

What makes your town unique?

My town has many unique attributes to keep it "Funky," but one of our favorites is our Farmers' Market on the Square.  My husband and I go nearly every Saturday.  Sometimes we buy vegetables or flowers.  More often, however, we just walk around twice (once to look and once to buy) just to take in the flavor of our city...
... musicians (some good, some not so much...) with their cases open for dollars...
...fresh vegetables...
...politicians with smiles and bumper stickers to give away...
...bouquets of flowers...
...dogs (in red vests from the animal shelter) looking for new homes...
...fruit and berries...
...hippies with petitions to be signed...
...dyed wool (with pictures of the sheep it came from)...
...old acquaintances saying "How've y'all been?"...
...dried spices...
...painters...
...pottery...
...children in strollers, elderly people, picky chefs, nature lovers...

It's like a kaleidoscope - splashes of bright colors.
We love our Farmers' Market.
