Going to the farmers market Saturday morning with the class was easily one of the most fun things I've done during IFS. Walking around the Bloomington farmers market seemed to be much more lively than the one that I have in my home town. The fact that it had music placed in such a pleasant manor, so they weren't impeding on each others sound. I found several patterns used in the placement of various stations throughout the market. I noticed that at the places like the political stands that there were various sweet food stands where parents or grandparents could get their young children a sugary snack while they get informed on the political situations in Bloomington. I also concluded the farther I went to the back, the less young people there were than in the front of the market so possibly the younger people weren't there for sights but for a single thing and then they left (NOTE: I made these notes after taking three laps around the the farmers market.) The participatory aspects taken place at the Bloomington farmers market were similar to the ones in music. Music, food, and politics come together as a whole to collaborate and support each other. As the public arrives, different people are attracted to different parts of the market. I separated these groups of people up into ages. While they are all at different kiosks and stations, they all collectively come together to do their part as a community and spend money to help support the factions of people they want to support. This in tale supports the rest of the stations surrounding them by attracting more and more people to the area. The Bloomington Farmers market was a great experience and I am sure I will find myself there again soon.
