The Sounds and Sights at the Twilight Farmers Market

This past week's Twilight Farmers Market had wonderful sounds, snowy cold fun, fashion shows and good times with friends and co-workers.

The market bell was rung by the cast from AZ Broadway Theatre's show 'Rent'. I always love hearing beautiful voices singing a Capella.


The sun was trying its hardest to put a damper on people's spirits, but to no avail. The sail awnings that the Citadelle Plaza recently installed give ample shade to the courtyard but also allows the breeze to flow though.


The classically-trained guitarist Nenid Saciv played on the main stage providing soothing sounds to shop to.

And of course, icy cold snow cools you down in seconds. Want to see how snow gets made in Arizona? Well, you hire AZ Iceman and they send out two enormous trucks filled with bags of ready-made ice. Here is a picture of Art Gomez with the spout that crushes up the ice to make AZ snow:


Once the snow fills the "hay corral", the kids jump in. I think this puppy would have joined them if he was not on a leash!


I do not know this group of boys, but they remind me of my boys when they were younger (always together, goofing around, having a blast):





This little girl with the adorable outfit covered in flowers, made the world's smallest snowman:

We had several new vendors participating in the Twilight Farmers Market. One vendor grows a very ancient grain and made cookies and breads using this grain is wheat-free. They were very interesting to talk to and I learned a great deal about the grain varieties:

We had a group of Glendale Firemen stop by to buy vegetables and fruit (which probably contributes to the great shape they are in and their bright white teeth!)

The back stage area located in front of the Haute C and BUSY BODIES business' had activity all night long. Briana Lefevers and Andrew Pelt played guitar and sang for the audience.



Her voice was quite beautiful:
And the back stage had a red hot fashion show modeling clothes from Haute C:Many people have made Wednesday night their night to meet with friends at the Citadelle Plaza for a glass of wine or enjoy dinner at Corbin's bar and grill.
