Children of vendors found it warmer and less windy under tables. It was also a good place to hide from their parents.
The market lended many of its vendors to tell stories of their arts, crafts, food and plants. Some interesting vignettes are provided below with the photos.

The market, at 300 Randall Street, is held every Thursday 4-7 p.m.
