Despite hot temperatures, the Fort Atkinson Farmers Market drew a good crop of shoppers and music lovers downtown Saturday morning.
Flowers, produce, baked goods, smoothies, dog treats and recycled birdfeeders were among the items for sale. Blues music was performed by “Barefoot Joe” Ingram, who played guitar and harmonica, as well as sang. Sponsored by the Fort Atkinson Area Chamber of Commerce, the market takes place in the East Milwaukee Avenue municipal parking lot across from the U.S. Postal Service from 8 a.m. to noon all summer and through October.
Dozens of bicycles that had been lost and not claimed during the past two years were on the block, with bids starting at $1 to $5 (for a Trek).
