Mint HIll, NC Farmer's Market, 26 June 2010

We didn't go far afield today, just to a farmer's market in nearby Mint Hill, North Carolina. Sara has a love of fresh fruit and vegetables, so summer is her season.

Unfortunately, the farmer's market turned out to be a crafts fair instead:





In addition, they had Civil War reenactors present:





Grisly medical procedures were promised as part of the day's entertainment:



After which everyone could eat some barbecue:



To be fair, there was one vendor selling fresh vegetables and fruits at the farmer's market. Sara bought fresh tomatoes and peaches. The market area is set up as a sort of old-timey village, with buildings scattered about featuring various professions: a blacksmith's shop, doctor's office, general store, and a new assayer's office being constructed. It's a nice way to pass an hour.
