The market, which opened Saturday, June 17, features a variety of vendors selling a wide range of small batch products, from Tupperware to jewelry, and is hosted in the North St. Johns parking lot. “I came here because I was hungry,” Deerfield resident Howard Lesh said. Lesh had bought a loaf of bread from Hahn’s Bakery’s booth, and was planning on purchasing fresh fruits and vegetables from another vendor. A majority of the booths at the market were selling various fruits, vegetables and other edible items. One of the more unique booths at the event was The StoryBus, which was invited to be a part of the market by the Highland Park Public Library. The bus is a full-sized school bus decorated with a storybook theme. The current theme of the bus was “Goldilocks and the Three Bears.” When children walked on to the bus, StoryBus driver and storyteller Nancy Setnan would recite the story of Goldilocks, and act it out with puppets and other props. “It’s been great here so LOVELY TOWNHOUSE WITH POND VIEW far,” Setnan said. “The parents love it, the kids have a ball. In two hours, I’ve had about 55 kids come through.” One of the other main attractions of the market were the numerous food booths, including Hahn’s bakery which sold bread, cookies and pastries, and Bettina’s Artisan Tea, which handed out free samples of tea and additionally sold its products by the glass. “We walked up here, and we thought we would check out the first French Market,” Milwaukee resident Sarah Deneve said.
