The Dane County Farmer's Market
Look at the masses of humanity streaming along the sidewalk in the background! The
Dane County Farmer's Market brings in vendors that encircle the entire Capitol Square and buyers that fill up the sidewalk moving in ebbs and flows as people stop to peruse, sample and buy.
I try to make the endless supply of bright fresh vegetables, fresh cut flowers and various unique vendors (think cheese samples and honey vendors with live BEES) a source of entertainment. However, I usually end up suckered into buying a cookie, scone or a Madison classic like cinnamon rolls and warmed hot cheesy bread.
Today was a cookie and cinnamon roll day.
Regardless of what we buy at the market or how far we make it around the square, we never seem to escape the draw of the Capitol lawn. Good for running, rolling, jumping, and instigating a good old fashioned game of "monster chase", the Capitol lawn is always free of elbow to elbow shoppers. Although we tend to be the only ones running wild, the lawn is often sporadically littered with small groups of
very happy people wasting their day away while thoroughly enjoying the weather and sampling their recently purchased fare. It may have been inspired by my two-year-old, but I think the Capitol lawn is now my favorite part of the Farmer's Market. RRROOOOOAAAARRR (monster speak).
