It was a humid day! I arrived just right after they had a quick, nasty thunderstorm, but the vendors stuck it out! There were people selling plants and flowers, fresh Connecticut grown produce and crafts!

Not only did I shop for the humans in the house, I shopped for my rabbits! |

The skies looked iffy, but people weren't discouraged. |

ReplyDeleteAlexa, I don't know, but will try to find out.
ReplyDeleteAlexa, there is some information at this weblink, but I don't think it answers your question. In the meantime, I will try to find out from someone who will know. There should be some contact info at this weblink just in case. http://www.wallingfordgardenmarket.com/Contact.html
