Today the fun was all mine. Our Lady Queen of the Americas, the Catholic church in Conneaut Lake is home to a farmer's market every Thursday from 2 - 6. This is the first year for it. I really would like to see it become a success. I was a little disappointed when I pulled into the parking lot and saw that there were only about a dozen vendors. However, I have to say that I found some treasures. There was a guy there from Saegertown who was selling everything maple - maple syrup, maple sugar, dip mixes with maple, maple barbecue sauce, spicy maple mustard...you get the picture. Another booth featured homemade cheeses sold by some Menonites - garlic dill was the yummiest. An Amish lady was selling baked goods; I took home some homemade bread. I bought some cinnamon swirl bread and some zucchini bread at another booth. I know, carb overload. It's worth it. There were also a few crafters. One woman was there selling beach glass jewelry at a very reasonable price. My neighbor picked up a necklace and a bracelet set for two dollars. I even had a chance to chat with a retired colleague, who also had a booth.
The farmer's market was very small today but still well worth going to. I really hope that it catches on and becomes more popular, both for vendors and for customers.
