The Hollister Farmers Market

If it's Wednesday, then it must be the Farmers Market Day in historical downtown Hollister.

Every Wednesday, from now until September 25, 2013, you can get your fresh local produce and meats,  breads, sausages, honey, and handcrafted food and wares at our farmers market. It's open from 3 to 7 pm. The produce and food vendors are lined along Fifth Street, between San Benito and Monterey, with many of the take-out fare in the parking lot between Fifth and the lawn in front of the parking garage. On the lawn, you can find craftspeople and nonprofit organizations, as well as entertainment.

Enjoy!

Bales of May Hay

Z is for Zazzy

Zazzy as in feeling stylish while wearing this bling of a gown. This was in one of the display windows of Sylvia's  Jewelry and Gifts on San Benito Street, near Fourth Street.

I'm been going through the alphabet this month as part of the A to Z Blogging Challenge. This post marks the end of the event. Whoo-hoo! I think I deserve a zazzy treat. To check out other A to Z participants,  click here.

Y is for Yummiliciousness

Yeah, I know. I could've just said yummy. But, hey, might as well put all that learning about suffixes to good use. Besides, the food at Heavenly Bakery is exactly that.
