Gorgeous, fantastic, wonderful Market!

What a great Market -- so much to see, taste, listen to and buy! We hope you came home with great stuff -- we certainly did. Yesterday's post-Market lunch (chez webmaster and band) was a crusty baguette with thick slices of BBQ Colby cheese, lovely tomatoes, perfectly ripened peaches and juicy plums. Delicious and simple (and, after a busy Market, no cooking!) Many thanks to all our volunteers -- we truly could not make this Market work without the many people who work hard behind the scenes and on the ground. And to those of you hosting our new yard signs, many thanks! We noticed many new faces yesterday, and think the new signs make a difference. We have loads of new photos up on flickr -- hope you enjoy them!
