Butler Farm Market sees record crowd

Patrons were lined up at both doors into the Butler City Farmer’s Market early Saturday morning, much to the delight of Mayor Bob Dandoy, who said the inaugural market of the 2023 season saw a record number of both shoppers and vendors.

“You couldn’t move in here when we first opened and it’s been a steady stream since then,” Dandoy said at almost 10 a.m.

The goods sold by the 21 vendors at the market between Race and Shore streets included handmade soap, coffee, produce, T-shirts, houseplants, hanging baskets, locally raised meat, cheese ball and soup mix, baked goods, and other items.

The smell of the Greek and Italian food wafting through the open-air building likely caused even the fullest stomach to growl.
