While attending the market, Boise Patch was surprised to see cherries already out and ready for hungry patrons. The cherries are an early variety called Early Burlat.

As usual, going to the market hungry is not a problem as a number of vendors were available with fresh food to eat on site.

Due to the Memorial Day weekend, many vendors were selling fresh cut flowers.
