Farmer's Market

Farmer's Market in Bloomington, Indiana

The farmer's market is nothing new to me, where I am from it is a tradition for me and my mom to go every weekend. A lot of things stood out for me such as, a lot of the vendors were mostly middle aged people. You could tell that people were selling things from their own farm and showing people the hard work that they have put into there crops even though it has been a rough summer. There were kids in certain areas, by the fountain, by the puppies and by the music dancing. The politicians weren't very out spoken about their campaigns unless you came up to them and asked questions. I concluded that in Bloomington compared to West Lafayette, the farmer's market means a lot more to the town. It was nice to see the amount of people that were supporting their local farmer's. I also took from the experience that a farmer's market is not only for food but, for entertainment. The bands that were there, I did notice were collecting donations or trying to sell their own Cd's. With the music you could say it was participatory in a way of people were dancing, the kids were dancing.
