“I was up til 4 a.m. Friday,” baker Susan Williams said. “I was up several nights this week getting ready for this weekend.”
Williams said wanted to come out to downtown Eclectic and offer the petit fours and other sweets she had made. Customers slowly came by, speaking with Williams and purchasing items.
Visitors also visited booths with crafts, flowers and, of course, food.
Local author Scott Pyron had his book, The Practical Guide to Family Preparedness, available to purchase.
“It rained on us early,” Pyron said. “Then the weather cleared a little bit unexpectedly. It’s been great to be able to speak with those who did come out.”
