Hundreds of patrons flocked to the fourth season opener of the Maple Valley Farmers Market June 16 at Rock Creek Elementary.

They were treated to colorful flower displays, familiar vendors such as Charlaine’s Jams, Illusion Wines and Lind’s Meats as well as new faces such as a Ristrettos coffee stand, Sweet Briar Produce, among others.

Strains of music provided by the Maple Valley Youth Symphony floated through the air while the smell of garlic wafted from another booth as couples, moms with strollers and families wandered among the market.
