**BABY, IT WAS HOT OUTSIDE!** Wed., July 1 reached 93º in the center, but that didn't stop 210 intrepid Market folks from shopping, snacking, visiting, enjoying the music, and throwing water balloons! THANK YOU one and all for supporting our vendors and our community. The Tea Jar raised $29 for Mary Ellen's Basket, and our teen (and teen+) musicians received enthusiastic applause. Next week looks to be at least 10º cooler -- fingers crossed!

A quick reminder to all our Market friends! When it is 90º and sunny out, the pavement at the Market can quickly get to 130º or more. No problem if you're wearing sneakers, but bare paws? OUCH! If you need to bring your dog to the Market, we have lots of shady grass at the back, and always big bowls of water for pets to slurp. Thanks and WOOF!
