Country market.

May 20, Millersburg.

We went to the market in the auction grounds right behind the circus and stepped back in time, Amish and other country folks selling chicken and swans, giant rabbits and turkeys, puppies and goats, buggies in the background, surely the Saturday hub for a rural community where the post office clerk on his way to lunch went back to open his desk when he saw me come with a letter in hand, a tiny one-room operation for a tiny hamlet where there doesn't appear to be much more than buggy sale stores and a picturesque landscape straight from a period movie.
