The Ravinia Farmer’s Market

June 23rd, 2006 by Andrew

Sorry, faithful readers, for not having anything up in so many days—I’ve been busy, and I also had some problems with the website. But that mess is over now, so onward to the present and the future. And what’s on the table for the present? You guessed it, more exciting news on Ravinia in Highland Park, IL.

“What’s on the table?”—an interesting expression, and one not lightly used, since I intend today to inform you all about the Ravinia Farmer’s Market.

Before I begin, though, I have a predicament, albeit a linguistic one. You see, I’m a bit of a language buff (both regarding language arts and languages), and I’m confused about whether it ought to be Ravinia Farmer’s Market or the Ravinia Farmers’ Market. Both make prefect sense, and both are used on numerous credible websites. What do you think?

But I digress (as I said I would), so let me tell you a bit about the Ravinia Farmer’s (?) Market. If you missed it yesterday (by which I mean Wednesday, June 21), then fear not! The Ravinia Farmer’s Market occurs every Wednesday now through the end of October.

Should you want to sample delicious, reasonably-priced, homegrown produce—or some of the locally-made soaps or other crafts offered, though these should probably not be ingested—all you’ve got to do is show up at the Ravinia Farmer’s Market in (of course) Ravinia of Highland Park, IL.

Again, the Ravinia Farmer’s Market is open every Wednesday from 7:00-11:00 AM. It is located at Dean Avenue in Highland Park, IL. Travel down Roger Williams and you just can’t miss it. Plus, if you love fruit as much as I do, well, you just shouldn’t miss out on this opportunity.

In other news, the Chicago White Sox defeated the St. Louis Cardinals tonight thanks to Jim Thome’s 8th inning homer off Anthony Reyes (who pitched an absolutely lights-out game). This marked the White Sox franchise’s first ever sweep of the Red Birds, as well as a seven-game winning streak. Why do I mention this? Because I was at the game tonight (I’m now 8-0 in Sox games this season), and I’m ALL fired up about it.

But, in conclusion (and on a related note), check out that Ravinia Farmer’s Market.
