When I got in touch with event organizer, Jim Chreighton, earlier this month, I had no idea how popular the Summer weekly farmers market at Discovery Pier actually was. Add fathers day to the mix, and you have a great combination.
The farmers market had everything from bellydancers to an anarchist's button den. The food was plentiful with two seperate mini doughnut vendors, popcorn straight from the kettle and souvlaki's. If you just wanted a burger or a hot dog, you got it.
In total there were around 30-40 vendors, and I discovered some cool things here, but my wallet might take a while to forgive me.
I couldnt escape before I walked away with local pepperoni from the Comox Valley farms, and freshly squeezed apple juice. Who would have thought there was a use for empty cigar boxes? I bought two of them. Hopefully I can find a use for them; probably end up using it as a sewing kit.
Adding to all the unique items and people I was meeting, was the beautiful and warm sunshine. Now I know why my dad told me Campbell River is gorgeous in the Summer. I think my hometown of Victoria is still dealing with temperatures in the mid teens. Campbell River easily eclipsed twenty degrees, and there were almost no clouds to be seen.
Anyways, this is an event I could see myself going to every Sunday. It was easily the most happening place today.
