We’re halfway through summer, the veggies are ripe,
The market this Saturday’s buzzing with hype!
The vendors are ready, their tables are neat,
With goodies and treasures and plenty to eat.
Muddy Water’s brewing a magical blend,
While Ralph strums his tunes like a musical friend.
The Girl Scouts are ready, their mission is clear—
They’re teaching sun safety with plenty of cheer!
There’ll be aprons for sale at the market’s own booth,
And neighbors to greet with a laugh and a truth.
So come join the fun from nine until one,
Rainclouds or sunshine, we’re here till it’s done!
Just scroll down below for the full vendor list,
You won’t want to miss it—it’s not to be missed!
Please Note: Hudson Hives is away this week
