Oshkosh Farmer's Market

This summer, the Oshkosh Farmer's Market moved from the parking lot at the Courthouse, to Main St. downtown. They block off the street for several blocks for the market on Saturday morning. What a great idea! The whole town seems to turn out for it. We usually bike in together as a family.

One of the attractions is Pie on the Porch. They raise money for historical restoration on The Morgan House here in town :



And the Blueberry Pie IS good! They serve the pie on real china plates, with silver forks, and cloth tablecloths, and real flowers on the tables. It's a classy affair for a street cafe!


Me and Oliver downtown.


Oliver in front of Russian Sage.


I liked the color display at this stand. ROY-G-BIV!


Yummy Plums! Time to make the dumplings ... except the plums all disappeared before I could get out the flour and boil the water. We also bought apples. I got a whiff of cinnamon and ginger last week, and knew someone would be selling apples this week! Time for apple pie and apple crisp and ... and ... and ...


Skies above market.

Black Hawk Hot Dog



I don't consider myself a hot dog eater, but these dogs at the BlackHawk Music Festival in Mt. Morris, WI, are DELICIOUS! So in July, I ate my annual "dog."
