Market Day

An echelon of canopies face off across the town square

Tables piled with
Bounties of green
Birdhouses
Pottery
A wooden catch of wind chime fish
Cookies
Snow cones of maple
Crepes
Middle Eastern delights
Nitro maple coffee
Soaps and jams

The veterans gather near their monument

Families
Dogs
People over dressed
People hardly dressed at all
Man with a cowboy hat and pack basket
Children dancing to the music

A mandolin player glides through the crowd
A woman saunters in time to the music
Weathered French-Canadian farmers in stained overalls
Discuss the history of sugaring taps
