OK this is for "Medium" Markets and I put it in the Joke section because if you have ever
seen the Auburn Wa (my home town mind you) Farmers Market you would say that putting them
in the top 20 at number 12 is a real joke for sure.

Midland has a wonderful farmers market. We get everything from produce to Amish baked goods to great lakes fish like salmon and whitefish. We just finished up for the year and I already miss it.

Sooooo how did your farmers market make this list???

Well, it may be a joke, but since this is vote generated rather than attributed to any other factores, they had to have run a successful 'marketing' campaign to get the votes- probably put it on their market Facebook page or something to gather up votes. Kind of like the best singer wins on American Idol? Hardly. :roll:

I found it funny because the market isn't much to speak of. There are maybe 3 stands selling produce 4 or 5 selling flowers and the rest are all various crafts type things. Calling it a "Farmers Market" is the joke.
Call it a "Weekend Market" and it would make more sense.
