I finally got a chance to post the Discover Delaware pictures. What a fun event. We woke up in the morning and discovered it was raining. I told Helene we needed to get a tent twice and both times she said we didn't need one. Morning of the event, it's raining, and I'm out looking for a tent at 7:30 in the morning without a first cup of coffee. Talk about waking up on the wrong side of the bed. I got a tent at Home Depot, came back and set it up, and guess what ? IT STOPPED RAINING !
After that fiasco the event went off without a hitch and everyone had a blast. The sun soon peaked out from behind the clouds, the farmers market was open across the street, music filled the air from various entertainers and Delaware was a alive with all kinds of people walking around enjoying good food, buying produce at the farmer's market, and checking out the various goods and services offered by their community retailers. The event really was a lot of fun. In between customers I would run out in the street and snap a few pictures.

| The lovely ladies from MOD Dance. These are our neighbours from the dance studio next store. I think they did a performance down the street that I wanted to get pictures of but we got busy in the shop and I couldn't run down there. |
 |
| Some of the local entertainment. These guys were really good. They did a harmonizing, do wop kinda thing, and everyone really seemed to enjoy it. I think I need to start getting names for the blog. I also heard a really good guitar player while I was in the shop but didn't have a chance to run out and get a picture. |

| One of the vendors from the farmers market representing Prudom Farms. At least that's what the sign said on her stand. The produce looked soooo good and fresh. I meant to get back there and buy a few things but we got pretty busy in the shop. I assure you I'll be buying some of this ladies produce this weekend. If you're like me and love locally grown produce you really want to check out the Kenmore Farmers Market every Saturday morning. |

| These cherries looked so good I had to take a picture, I should of used a different lens on the camera, but don't they look yummy. |

| Mr. Cool was selling ice cream right across the shop. |

Well, those are a few of the better pictures I took. When the event was over we ordered a pizza from Mike's Subs, they just started selling Pizza, and I have to say, like all their food the Pizza is FANTASTIC ! The Pizza was the perfect ending to a perfect afternoon.
The Farmers Market runs every Saturday morning on the municipal building lawn where Delaware Rd. and Delaware Ave. meet. If you live nearby you really want to check it out ,the produce is fresh and delicious, and it's a great way to spend Saturday morning not to mention you can stop by our shop and say hi !
