A world of fun at the Trinidad Farmers Market

Besides some of the most amazing garden produce available anywhere on the planet and a plethora of others great items, the Trinidad Farmers Market offers a world of fun for residents and visitors alike. The kids love the “Cotton Candy Lady” who shows up weekly to make the sweet treat and lets them watch the whole fascinating process. There’s nothing quite like seeing the creation of your snack and then taking a turn at the chalked-in hopscotch grid that’s made on the sidewalk right beside the cotton candy booth. The Trinidad Farmers Market is open every Saturday morning from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. until Oct. 1— you’ll want to catch it before it’s gone for the season. Thank you, Chip Shirley for taking a moment to capture this special scene and then share it with the rest of us.
