The December Farmer’s Market at Capital Square was shoulder to shoulder people in spite all of the snow falling.

Christmas Spirit was high with everyone doing some Christmas shopping, and looking for that special gift. There were people everywhere including families with four generations enjoying a family outing. Some of the venders were outside in the snow, but still doing a pretty good business too.

Many items out there had a soft layer of snow, but the vendors kept a smile on their faces. The one little baby doll was smiling even with a dusting of snow. At each glance you saw more items for Christmas. Holiday decorations, fudge, wines, and lots and lots of honey and jams and jellies. There were even a few carolers.

We now have to wait for spring to meet the crowd in Downtown Des Moines for the Farmer’s Market.
