Bad First Day for Farmers Market
Chaos at Couch Park/Kerr Park today as storms destroyed nine tents set up for the first Farmers’ Market of the season. Photos provided by Downtown OKC Inc.
So, yes, it was a rough day out there today. Since the downtown Farmers Market was started a couple of years ago, its had the bad luck of being hit with drought or crazy storms. But the folks at OSU-OKC are dedicated to making Farmers Market a part of downtown’s revival, and I’m told they’ll be back next week. So, assuming the weather doesn’t go nuts next week, wouldn’t it be nice if the market were shown a huge vote of support next week with large crowds?

My goodness. Even from Kabul, this looks messy – though not truly chaotic – law and order prevailed after the wind died down. Would it be possible perhaps for the city to provide a dedicated market area with a windbreak? Or maybe that would reduce the impromtu charm inherent in farmers markets. Good luck next week!
