As you may know… last week was Bastille Day!
And we had a celebration at the Champaign Farmers’ Market.
We decided to celebrate the French, and all of their cultural and culinary insights.

And were only a bit silly about it.

There was French food, like croissants and maccarons.

Even a living statue street performer!
Our vendors were amazing sports, and propped French flags in their displays.
