TOWER- High winds couldn’t dampen the enthusiasm of the vendors during opening day of the Tower Farmers Market on June 18. The market opened with quite a few new vendors, as well as many returning favorites. The market, which is open on Fridays from 4 – 6 p.m. in the parking lot by Tower’s train, was busy all afternoon, and many vendors had sold out by the time the market closed.
Fire-fighting aircraft crossed back and forth over the market all afternoon, creating quite a sight for visitors. The planes were scooping water from Lake Vermilion to dump on a wildfire about 10 miles away in Embarrass.
