Market season comes to an end

The Whitehall Farmer's Market 2016 season came to an end on a brisk yet beautiful Saturday morning in Legion Park.

Vendors showcased a splendid selection of tasty treats and beautiful artwork at the last market of the season. Last Saturday local vendors toughed out the weather and even took down the canopies due to the wind.

The market has become ritual -- a weekly opportunity for locals to get the freshest ingredients and quality crafts every week. As always, you are sure to find one thing that isn't seasonal - community. Locals and visitors from out of town came to buy goods in the park and enjoyed visiting with vendors while taking in the scenery around them of lovely autumn leaves and snow capped mountains.

Whitehall resident Charles Shank was on hand Saturday, selling some of his photographs. The official town photographer, Shank said his favorite part of the market is the people.

"It's all about the people," he said.

The crowd was pretty sparse for the final day and there were also fewer vendors than usual, but that didn't keep the attendees that were there from having a enjoyable trip to the farmers market.
