Now that the weather has cooled down, my husband and I decided to check out our Mesa Farmers’ Market Saturday morning - checking out farmers' markets is one of my favorite things to do. Mesa is also celebrating its Old West Days Festival yesterday (November 7) and today (November 8).

There were shootouts, people dressed in their “old west” garb, and plenty of food. Rides on the train for little ones, jewelry booths, and a wide assortment of opportunities to purchase goodies or just walk and enjoy the music and the sights.

Winter visitors are back!! These events continue until May when visitors return to their cooler climates. There are plenty of these Farmers’ Markets, festivals, craft shows, and celebrations going on all winter.

It was a balmy 78 degrees yesterday morning around  11:30, and we stopped by and tried out the homemade tamales. LOVE tamales! We purchased six, and will be having them for dinner soon. The Tamale Store is located in north Phoenix, but you can call and order your tamales, or go online at www.thetamalestore.com, and pick them up at the farmers’ markets in Mesa Festivaltown. I do recommend them.

The McDonald Street Market is located in the center of Old Mesa at McDonald and Main. I’ve included a link to their website which provides dates, times, and other useful information for those who like to keep up on the local news.  So - all of you wanting to find things to do this winter, just stop by now and again for an update to the "happenings" in Mesa, Arizona!!

I hope that farmers markets will always be around for people to enjoy; I am able to purchase some of the greatest produce and meats at them.

78 is still a little hot for me, but you are getting closer to that perfect 70 degrees. (LOL) I would love to go and I think I would even put up with the heat to witness and old fashioned shoot out.

Oh what fun... but as a tough skinned Northwesterner I'll chime in with Todd just above... 78 is a little warm, but not too (for me)! (haha)... We have a great Farmer's Market here in Renton. But, because the weather is now getting colder and wetter, it's closed until late next spring. So, off to Pike's Place Market in Seattle where many of the regional farms are represented.

Bill, I am well indeed. Selling homes are taking some time. ;-)

Todd and Rene, lol -  it's cooler today, but I love it around 75-80 degrees; otherwise, I am cold. I remember living in Olympia, and there was always a "mist." Tomorrow we're heading to the Tempe Farmer's Market....just opened four days ago. Will report in. ;-)

Teri, I always like these local posts. 78 is not to bad at all. Just perfect up to 84.
