October 3 - 4, 2009 - Holland, Michigan

Saturday brings the Eight Street Farmer’s Market to downtown Holland. We were “up with the chickens” to take a look.
This takes place in a large paved lot near the Civic Center. Even the flowerpots have a farm theme!
Fruits and vegetables of every type were attractively displayed – fresh from local farms to our table!
Today is Fall Family Funday at the market, with all kinds of activities – including pumpkin painting and carving……….
…………and a pumpkin pie eating contest! (We declined to enter.)
We were reminded of Marty’s Dad’s fine gardens.
Fall Indian Corn makes a beautiful display.
Literal fields of fall mums were displayed, as well as cut asters and zinnias.
The vendors had set up during an early morning shower, which gave the vegetable and fruits a dew-kissed appearance.
