The Clouds Parted and the Moon Market Came Out
June's Moon Market was short and sweet
Wichita Falls got soaked with thunderstorms that threatened hail and even tornadoes on June’s 3rd Thursday, but fortunately the clouds parted in time for a little more than an hour of The Moon Market at the Downtown Farmer’s Market pavilion.
As always, there were a number of food trucks in the neighborhood and plenty of indulgences with which to tempt yourself.
Inside, vendors visited with customers and showed off their wares. I spoke with Leigh from Abington Ave Pastry and B Cocoa Artisan Chocolates while I was there and she reminded me that they have some delicious, indulgent stuff for that holiday that’s coming up quick (hint hint) and also another Liquid Laughs standup comedy event starring her husband, Wichita Falls’ standup comedian Mitch Burrow, is coming in July.
Leigh also sold me something my doctor says I’m not supposed to have — sugar. Specifically, Candied Bacon Cracker Jacks.
Ok, Leigh didn’t have to twist my arm too hard on the candied bacon Cracker Jacks. That’s really what The Moon Market is for. Buy all the things you normally wouldn’t and eat the stuff that’s not on any nutrition chart.
Hey, buddy, here’s something decadent that you’ll love, and just around the corner, here’s another tempting thing.
Of course its not just food, but crafts, products, and creations of all kinds, and as always, live entertainment. This month they had a deejay and… wait a minute… is that…?
Yes, that is former long-time Wichita Falls weatherman John Cameron deejaying at The Moon Market. The last time I encountered John it was when he showed up in the park near my loft and started wailing away on the drums, and he has been spotted playing some guest slots with area musicians, too. I think this is officially the beginning of our unauthorized and spontaneous ongoing series: Where in Wichita Falls is John Cameron?
There’s always something entertaining happening at The Moon Market, hosted by the Downtown Wichita Falls Farmers’ Market on the third Thursday of the month, at 8th & Ohio in the Historic Depot Square.
