Welcome to my mini-version of Canton's First Monday.
The Union Square Market is located just a few blocks from where I live. On a beautiful day, walking through the square provides a wonderful source of exercise with loads of entertainment, especially if you're interested in people-watching.
On the north side of the square, vendors sell anything from organic fruit, herbs and vegetables to more seasonal items like pumpkins, decorative squash and mums.
There is even an older couple who sells hot apple cider on those days when wearing thermal underwear isn't enough to keep a person warm.
On the south side of the square, local artists set up tables, displaying unique expressions of the city in forms of paintings, sculptures and jewelry.
The SPCA even sets up a little "Dog Alley." Unfortunately, no chickens or goats are up for adoption here.
Everything is reasonably priced, and there is always room for some bargaining.
Fact - More than 65 percent (two thirds) of Americans will spend less money on holiday shopping than last year.
The video is a great addition to your blog. I have really been enjoying reading your work, and I like the facts that you include at the end. Keep up the good writing. Good luck!
