Highland Park Farmers Market 2009.2
HP Community Action Association
Week Two. Each Highland Park Market will differ from all those preceding and those following. Each market depends upon which vendors attend. Our Market Manager, Norm Gilbert, has an excellent surprize in the works. Perhaps we can fill you in on the details before the third week.

MIA in the first market, the new fHighland Park Florist on Eucld had three tables.
She's in the middle. Shy?
Just a Sign the 1st Day. Much better. They filled three tables with their floral goods. If you got there early, you could choose from all of them.
LA
Nice variety.

Early Birds .... An hour after opening, the tables are no longer "filled to the brim."

Lots o' Winers. More customers checling out the local winery's list.

Maybe just a taste. Limit was three.

LA
Bring your own cheese. Oenophiles welcome.

Truly last minute help from the government.
TV Converts To Digital Tomorrow. He said 4 million people have not acquired their analog TV converters. Well, it may take years to get them all converted.

Fresh Iowa-grown produce. Lotsa green.

Mosaic Treasures were outfront. She's showing her Siamese fighting
fish in that vase.

Free Blood Screens. Here you see three student pharmacists screening for glucose and blood pressure. They explained the ramifications of the results.

Nice turnout for the blood screens.
Also a Good Place To Meet and Greet. At today's event your Highland Park Farmers Market provided free blood tests. Our market also provides an excellent place to shmooze with your neighbors. See you there next Thursday.
