Sedgwick County commissioner Kelly Parks is wearing a plaid shirt and overalls today to celebrate Kansas farmers.
August is Kansas Farmers’ Market Month, which draws attention to markets such as the one at the Sedgwick County Extension Center at 21st and Ridge.
Commissioner Karl Peterjohn said he recently enjoyed going to the market with one of his children and joked that he was sad that vendors had ran out of sweet corn.
“And don’t forget the extraordinary shopping experience,” commissioner Gwen Welshimer said, referring to the art, jewelry and other non-edible products sold at the market.
