Customers browse vendors' booths at the Butler City Farmers' Market on its opening day Saturday morning, May 24.

The temperature Saturday morning, May 24, may not have indicated that summer was approaching, but the crowd inside the Butler City Farmers’ Market building was a definite arbiter that warm weather is on its way. The market opened for the season at 8:30 a.m., drawing one of the best crowds for an opening day in years, according to an organizer of the market.

Donna Druga, of the Lyndora area, said she goes to the market pretty much every week during the summer, because the portions of the vegetables on sale are the perfect amount.

“You can buy a small amount of it and it doesn’t go bad before you eat it,” Druga said. “I pretty much come every week.”
