John Olson of Stamper Cheese said the weather brought about a change in mood at the market held on Lemon Avenue from First Street to State Street.
“Today has been a wonderful day,” he said. “People are in such a good mood. They’re not cranky and they’re all happy.”
Vendors at the market, established in 1979, offered a wide range of items, which included food, drinks, crafts and jewelry.
“It’s a really good market,” said Terri Cisero of Terri’s Treasures. “It’s probably the biggest market in the area. I think it’s perfect because it’s local and it’s got a good following because it’s been around for so long. There’s a great diversity here of vendors.”
Attendee Hannah Eckert, who had long been unable to visit the market due to being pregnant with her daughter, Dianna Eckert, said she was glad to attend once again.
“We love coming to the farmers market,” she said. “We’re excited to be able to bring her and see all of the vendors we have relationships with.”
