As most of you noticed, we officially crossed the line into summer this past Sunday, and the weather couldn’t be nicer. With temperatures in the 70’s and just enough rain to keep things green and growing it would be tough to find anything to improve. The market continues to grow as well…each week adding a few new vendors and broadening the variety for our customers. In the next two weeks, most of our regular produce growers will be in place in the market lineup, which typically increases our customer base as well.
The past two weeks we had some truly great musical entertainment with Brian Henke playing on the 13th of June and Peggy Coyle along with Brad Bolton this last Saturday, June 20th. Coming up this week Andrea Bussinger will be returning to Haymaker for her third appearance since last summer at 10 am.

As you may have noticed, the first two benches are in place along the front of the market. Karl Liske was kind enough to donate two pieces of plywood to put in front of each bench to cover the mud from when they were installed this last week…thank you Karl, your spontaneity saved the day and quite a few pairs of shoes as well! The Record-Courier was kind enough to send down a photographer to take a few pictures of the new benches and our market, look for an article in the paper over the next few days.

From time to time you may see me wearing scrubs to the market. As some of you know, I work nights as a nurse at an area hospital, and sometimes its my turn to work the Friday night/Saturday morning before setting up the market on Saturday. Time is pretty tight between the two, so don’t be surprised if you see me looking strangely out of place every so often at the market, don’t worry, I promise I won’t be starting any iv’s on anyone, just don’t cross me, I may be tired…and grouchy!
I’ve reworked the display ad for he newspaper this week. The ad runs every other Thursday in the Record-Courier along with event announcements in the Beacon Journal, Plain Dealer and Record-Courier. Joan Inderhees will be assisting with press releases for the papers, please thank her when you see her, its good to have her back with us again.
All the best for a great week!
Fritz.
