Ogden Farmer's Market is Rockin' in 2009

Well-deserved praise for a weekly Saturday morning Junction City event which is actually working out quite fine

By Curmudgeon

Since it's a slow news day, and Ogden hasn't gotten a whole lot of good ink lately, I thought I'd put up a link to an article in today's Standard-Examiner reporting that Ogden's Farmers' Market is rockin' this year:
Farmers markets report increasing attendance
Vendors way up. Attendance way up. Excellent news, since ham-fisted management a few years ago almost killed it off. Nice to see it's back on track, and growing. It's one of the nice things about living in Ogden: poking around the produce trucks, the artists' and food booths of a cool summer morning, enjoying the kids enjoying "Sundance", wandering down one side of 25th Street and up the other, with a little coffee, maybe a snack and a little people watching thrown in at a sidewalk cafe. I pound Ogden enough for things that don't work well in Junction City. Good now and then to point out and applaud things that do. And the Farmers' Market is one.

If you haven't been yet, go next Saturday. You can't beat the price of admission: free.
