There's a Tuesday night market near us that's just the right size. We went tonight. There was live blues music in the cool evening air, families sitting on the grass on blankets, handmade jewelry, cheerleaders selling ice cream as a fundraiser, teriyaki chicken skewers, kids with balloon animals, massage booths, flats of freshly picked berries, and crunchy-sweet kettle corn. It was perfect.
I bought a flat of blueberries, broccoli and lettuce and green onions, small yellow potatoes, sweet corn and cilantro, which I love.
Next summer I'll probably rent a booth there for at least a few weeks. I can't think of a better atmosphere for vending. Seeing people out with their babies and their dogs, stopping to chat to friends or dancing with toddlers on the lawn, reminds me of 1920s movies when families would bring a picnic dinner to the park and listen to music from the bandstand.
