Cecile, Jason and I went to the vibrant Historic Folsom Farmers Market located on Sutter Street. It is surrounded by several notable landmarks and attractions that include the prominent turnaround area of the light rail tracks near Scott’s Seafood Roundhouse building. The Gold Line stops there, providing access to and from Sacramento. The tracks loop around for the train to switch directions. There is a small transit station next to the tracks, where riders can board or exit. The area blends historic charm with modern transit convenience, making it a central part of Historic Folsom’s lively atmosphere. Other nearby landmarks include the charming Lake Natoma Inn, where Cecile and I have stayed at on occasion.
I saw a woman at the Farmers Market who was wearing an Amish or Mennonite-style dress and a bonnet carrying a basket on her forearm. She had seen me taking photos of her on the fly, and asked if I wanted to take a photo with her, and I obliged. I had anticipated a pitch of some kind after Cecile took the photo, as I saw her handing out brochures to people, but that pitch never came. Her presence added to the diverse cultural tapestry of the market.
