This could be the answer to my problem, the relief of my farmers
market flustration.  I just received word that the Downtown
Farmers Market, besides its 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. hours on Saturdays,
is going to open on Tuesday evenings.  The Downtown Alliance
tried this last year, and I suppose met with enough success that
they're repeating the repeat.The extra hours can only help the
farmers through Ratatouille Season-you know, when everyone has
more zucchini, eggplant, tomatoes and basil than they can
possibly use.  They're dubbing this the Harvest Market, because
it starts at the peak of Utah's harvest-August-and goes through
October, from 4 pm. until dusk.  And for the grouchy foodies
among us-like me-several pet peeves will disappear. Like, I
won't need coffee in the evening, so I won't be irked by thenon-
dairy creamer. All the babies should be in bed so those double-
wide strollers shouldn't be blocking up the path. And surely
it's too much hassle to pack up Fido at the end of a workday and
haul him/her downtown.
