MARKET REVIEW June 18
By Paul Bullock & Mary Gates
It was a beautiful Saturday morning for a Market. The set up was quick and the vendors were ready when the shoppers showed up. There was a slow stream of shoppers that was once again dominated by strollers and young families. I noticed that in the Buddy Holly Park area there was a dog training session. I don’t know if that is a weekly thing or not, but we were visited by the entire class and were part of the training exercise. The dogs stopped by our Information Booth and got a free treat and some cool water. Then they practiced street crossing in the Depot District. David Mitchell has a yoga group that also meets in the Buddy Holly Park area at 9:00 am every Saturday and we are happy to have his group check out the vendors we offer.
The day went quickly with the occasional gust of wind that would shake the canopies, but for the most part we had comfortable day. Other than the dogs from the obedience class we had our usual canine parade and this beautiful dog named Kobe was awarded our weekly prize for Tornado Industrial/Arts Dog of the week. Thanks to Kobe and all our canine friends for visiting us.
The hot dry weather seems to have slowed the arrival of our produce vendors, but we have a lot of goods to check out. Our vendors are professionals and enjoy the chat time that we have with the shoppers that stop by. There is always hot coffee to enjoy as you check out the goods that are presented by a variety of vendors. Herbs and spices, soaps and lotions, wood work and crafts, hot sauce and pickled goods. That, and a lot more. We are happy to continue to serve you and hope that as the summer months continue that you will stop by and enjoy our Downtown Market at 19th and Buddy Holly Ave. from 9:00am to 1:00 pm every Saturday!
Our highlighted vendor this week is BECKY HELMER DESIGN. Becky creates unique flower shaped earrings in a multitude of shapes and colors. She started honing her craft when inspired by a blog she saw about making earrings. Becky was a vendor at the market many years ago when it was first going, then stopped for a while when she started teaching. Now, she’s back! Her glass Calla lily, Fuchia, and Trumpet flower earrings are unique , eye catching, and make a great gift…even for yourself!
The next market is June 25th. We hope to see you next Saturday from 9:00AM to 1:00PM at 19th Street & Buddy Holly Avenue.
