May Day at Topeka’s Farmer’s Market
I hadn’t been to the farmer’s market for awhile, at least since they moved to the parking lot closest to the Kansas Judicial Center. The Farmer’s Market is kind of like a carnival! The Farmer’s Market really is like the Renaissance Festival only in real time (no period costumes etc!).
I probably saw at least 8 people that I know and met another 4 or 5. I met one man that I went to 3rd grade with (Bill James) playing the guitar. I don’t remember having seen Bill for at least 25 years. Bill had been working in various National Parks working as a guide for things like white water rafting trips and things like that. I even saw my dentist and his wife there, Mark Hall (good thing I had just been in last week for a clean and check!).
I’ll probably be going again next Sat. morning as I understand another long time friend, Ron Owens will be there playing the guitar. Come on out and get your tomato plants!!
