FULL OF LOCAL ATMOSPHERE -- CORVALLIS FARMER'S MARKET

Corvallis, Oregon has a farmer's market that has grown from a few vendors when it began years ago to probably fifty plus vendors today. Now it is a thriving community of vendors, families, street musicians and more. It still remains true to its initial intent of offering fresh garden produce and quality crafts.  Located along the Willamette River,  it provides a natural scenic avenue filled with trees and other plants plus benches and picnic tables placed along the market way.  

I took some photos that illustrate the energy that one would would run into as they walked along the market-way  -- see below.

Families enjoy the passing crowd while enjoying 
some farm fresh food. 


A Corvallis mother and two sons delighted me with
 some smiles and some nice conversation.


Dogs were everywhere  at the market -- with their owners -- strutting their stuff and being friendly with anyone who gave them an occasional  pat on the head.
