I have always admired things made by hand. Whether it’s produce, soap, or crafts, nothing is better than locally produced items.
At the Farmers’ Market on Thursdays, I always wander about amazed at all the goods that people have poured their souls into forming, making, or growing. 
Conveniently located on West First Street, there are also several small boutiques and stores to explore. I love looking at the window displays as I stroll up and down the sidewalk.
The Farmers' Market is a great way of socializing with others; it creates the perfect social scene. I always find myself bumping in to many familiar faces or just striking up a conversation with the vendors. There's always a friendly face to talk to.
Commonly, there is a band or group playing music or performing which creates a vibe like no other.
Some of my favorite things to pick up at the market include freshly-picked sweet corn, chocolate covered cookies, and sometimes fudge if I am feeling a little indulgent.
And that is another reason I heart Oswego.
