Everything was for sale — from fresh produce to pure honey; from potted plants to old vinyl record albums by the Beach Boys and Elvis.

The Charles City Farmers Market opened for the season under sunny skies on Saturday, and also included baked goods, arts and crafts and even some activities.

The market operates from 9 a.m.-noon on Saturdays and from 3:30-6 p.m. on Wednesdays, through Oct. 14. It is held in and adjacent to Central Park along Blunt Street. It provides opportunities to local home business vendors to participate.

Daily and seasonal vendor permits are available by contacting the Community Revitalization Office. Vendor stalls are still available. For more information, call 641-228-2335 or email info@charlescitychamber.com.
