Framingham Farmers Market

Thursday, June 14th, 2007

Since we’ve done so well on Tuesdays at the Springfield farmers market, we decided to add Thursdays to our schedule and try the same thing at the Framingham Farmers Market. (Located at the Common/Green or something like that.) I should know this stuff because I went to middle school, high school and college in Framingham. (It’s like you can’t escape your past. Get me out of here…PLEASE.)

It was kind of small, 6 tents/vendors. The woman who runs the event (Heidi) thinks there will be more vendors coming as the season progresses. I had one surprise – my old movie theater co-worker (from 1983) Mike Sanders was there working for the Sudbury Valley Trustees. We keep crossing paths every 10 years. I can only imagine who else I’ll be running into at this event. (Old high school girlfriends?)

Since we were kinda hurting for customers, the “cheese done slid off of Velma’s cracker” – she went nuts giving away samples to the people in cars who were waiting for the light to change. Got a couple of drive by customers who spotted the good ol’ “kettle corn hot light” sign. Total bags sold: 35. Hopefully it’ll pick up, let’s see what happens in the next few months.
