Bburg Farmers Market ~10:00 am
We really need to get out there early because by 10:00 am most of the stuff is sold. I was peeking around this time and saw lots of empty baskets and boxes in folks’ trucks. One vendor had a table that had nothing on it but a table cloth and a wilted sign.
There was no music or food tent set up this week. I need to find out what the schedule is for that stuff. It seemed to really attract a crowd. There didn’t seem to be as many folks there today, and the crowd seemed to be older. I saw one Asian family.
I also noticed that most of the female vendors were wearing skirts.
