…and we got it in buckets this past Saturday! What began as a really promising and well attended market yesterday was interrupted with a one hour deluge the likes of which I haven’t seen in quite a long time. At about 11:45, our musician for the day, Jon Mosey told me he was unable to keep his guitar dry because the rain was blowing horizontally under the bridge and needed to pack up and call it a day.
A good crowd at Haymaker before the rains came, July 11, 2009.
That said, the market was really a bustling place, with very few parking places available on Franklin and a record 38 vendors on hand selling all sorts of goodies. With more of our seasonal farmers selling, the balance between bakers and produce vendors is improving. As this part of the season progresses, market attendance improves as well.
I’m working on the next series of four market benches in my home wood shop. This past week I was able to pick up the leg brackets from Kevin at Quick Service Welding and the tops from The Plastic Lumber Company of Akron. As soon as the stainless steel hardware is on hand this week, I’ll begin the assembly process here at my home. If any one would like to lend a hand, give me a call at 330-678-5748.
Next Saturday, Don Hindenach will perform on guitar at 10 am-12 noon in the continuing Music @ the Market series.
