Farmers Market 1970's
Just sorting more photos today, making sure they are labeled correctly in our database, and I came across these old photos of a Fond du Lac Farmers Market, being held on Main St.
It is just so neat to check out the old buildings. I wish that the original photos were a little clearer, but beggars can't be choosers.

WOW, ice cream cones for 30 cents.
Midtown Lighting helps to date these photos in the 1970's.
