Despite a recent chill in the air, the weather was mild during the Sarasota Farmers Market on Nov. 22.
It was a chance for the public to visit Downtown Sarasota and shop items that included local produce, crafts, and sweet treats while enjoying live music—or perhaps simply try on a fancy hat or pet a dog.
"It's been a beautiful day. We had great entertainment, lot of foot traffic, a lot of people visiting," said Sharon Juraszek, owner of Fermentiicious, a business offering probiotic-rich foods.
"The turnout was great," said Kurt Pomrenke, who was filling in at Big Top Baskets, a vendor offering hand-woven imported and locally sourced hats and accessories. "There was a lot of families, that we always enjoy. A lot of people checked out most of our hats and the African baskets and everything, so it's always a good day at the Farmers Market."
