There'll be a little more here than the usual pictures of great local food from the Beaver Farmers' Market. The market is LOADED with great produce right now! The peppers & tomatoes are really colorful ...... we got a beautiful multi-colored selection of peppers to stuff from Doud-Floyd Farm. Each week brings new varieties of apples. We picked up Cortlands this time for a change. This is the apple that LFLF uses for making applebutter every few years --- of course, that family project takes about 7 bushels!
*************************************************LFLF arrived at market around 12:15 PM, which is a little later than usual. The market is located in the Beaver County Courthouse rear parking lot. While parking, about 30 people were noted out in front of the courthouse and other people were trickling in to the area. One truck had a Lycoming County decorative plate on the front bumper. Yes, we arrived at the same time as folks were setting up for a Tea Party at 1:00 PM in front of the courthouse. Not one to miss out on a photo op and a nice crowd (after loading down the market bag), your local blogster joined the group out front as it gathered and snapped a few pictures. Seemed to be more than 200 people out there. Lots of homemade signs and a big "tea-stained" American flag in crowd. Kids, senior citizens, bikers, some folks in wheelchairs, etc. Looked like a pretty average crowd on the steps and the lawn ..... didn't see any astro-turf. 
The first shot is the group bowing their heads in memory of the victims of 9/11. After that are a couple of the signs.
