1 Stop Shopping in the 1st State

 

     Suppose you want to get a haircut, have new soles put on your favorite pair of shoes, buy a cemetery wreath for grandma's grave,

 

pick up a kickstand for your motorcycle, look for some bed linens, have your Stetson steamed and sized:

 

 pick up a bushel of crabs for a cook out along with some ribs and wings, and have a slice of pizza for lunch.   It could take all day  running around to accomplish all that.  Or you could just go to the New Castle Farmers' Market, provided it was Friday, Saturday or Sunday.

 

     You could also enjoy a meal in almost any cuisine you prefer: Italian, Asian, Hispanic, Amish, Country, and seafood, too. 

 

In addition to dry good and hardware vendors, fresh fish, meat, fruit and produce, groceries and bakery items are available as well.  That includes soft pretzels, too.

 

     The market is a cornucopia of salesmanship.  Baptismal gowns and party dresses for infants and toddlers are there, so are belts, buckles and cowboy (and cowgirl) boots in almost every imaginable color.  Underwear and socks are available at rock bottom prices.  You can also get your bath tub refitted and have your vacuum repaired.  Video games, CDs and DVDs are bought and sold. 
 

 

And if you don't like the way the stylist cut your hair you can get a wig to cover it up.

 

     But if you're like me, you go there just to walk around to look at the people!
