The Alaska Junction was even busier than usual Sunday as the Farmers Market celebrated its 10-year anniversary with a Berry Spectacular.
Vendors, including more than a few berry farmers, were out in full force.
Husky Deli and Sakuma Bros. provided free berry sundaes, and Fresh Bistro chef Dalis Chea lead a cooking demonstration, teaching spectators how to prepare "Farmers Market Fresh Cherry Salad."
Musical duo MoZo performed for a crowd while the giant Veggie Mama puppet visited with children throughout the market.
“We love the fruit, and we love the berries,” said Steve Dumont as he and his family enjoyed free berry sundaes.
“Cherries, strawberries - that’s summer here," said Wade Bennett, cider master at Rockridge Cidery. "And, there’s no place in the world that grows them like us.”
