Toledo Farmers Market

We bought for "normal" consumption:

• eggs
• soft pretzel
• tomatoes
• eggplant
• herbs
• apples
• lemon cake
• goat milk soup
• and probably a few other things that I cannot remember

For making and canning corn salsa, we bought 14 pounds of tomatoes from the Greek farmer. The young guy, maybe the son, recommended the larger, round tomatoes over the plum or roma tomatoes.

We bought red onion and different kinds of peppers.

Bench's

We bought the sweet corn for the corn salsa from Bench's produce stand, located along Route 2 east of the road to Maumee Bay State Park. We've been big fans of Bench's sweet corn for the past several years.

We bought three bags, and I think that each bag contained 14 ears. In the husk, of course.

We also browsed the little antique store connected to Bench's produce stand, buying one small item. For our garden this year, we bought some of the plants back in the spring and early summer from Bench's greenhouse, which at this same location.

Food Truck Festival

Several food truck vendors set up shop from 2:00 to 7:00 p.m. next to the Collingwood Arts Center. The CAC also offered tours of the building.

The whole thing was a fundraiser for the CAC. We bought food from Black Kettle Bar-Be-Que and from Toledo Hot Dog.

We were at the festival from approx 4:30 to 5:30 p.m.

UT Football

Ball State vs UT at 7:00 p.m.

Mi
At 6:16 pm, comfy weather. High and mid level cloudiness causing frosted sunshine. Temps in upper 70s. Light to moderate breeze. But line of storms in IN could disrupt second half.

JR: We left stadium at 9:10 pm with game still delayed because of occ lightning. I'm guessing play will resume between 10:00 and 10:30 pm and end around 12:30 to 1:00 am. We went to The Attic.
