New Farmers' Market

I have to work late on Wednesdays nights - until 7pm.  It's usually pretty lonely in my office on Wednesday nights because everyone who would need to come in is at the baseball field (I'm an Administrative Coordinator for a local Little League).  Tonight however, the parking lot right by my office was full of people.  Happy people visiting a local Farmers' Market on a beautiful summer evening.

This was the first night of this Farmers' Market located at 4175 Lovell Road, Lexington, MN.  It will run every Wednesday evening until October 2nd.  The hours are from 3pm to 7pm (June - September) and 3pm to 6pm (October).  They have a great variety of vendors from Lexington and the surrounding areas.  Here is a list of the vendors and what they have for sale:
