What reminds you of the summer?
Seasonal fruits, veggies, or is it the smell of flowers?

Well what ever it is, area residents are going to the Farmers Market in Wausau for all their cravings and needs.

From fruits to flowers and everything in between market vendors are saying business is good especially this holiday week.

Charles Valentine, a vendor at the Farmers Market says, "Over the past 3 weeks here every week’s increased and this has been a pretty good week there is been quite a bit of customers"

Vendors say customers enjoy the market prices because items are of good quality and prices are competitive with other stores in the area.

The farmers market is open now for the 2008 season every Wednesday and Saturday starting at 7am.
