This week: farmers’ markets, outdoor concerts and a little foot race

Lawrence Lee Jun 17, 2013 5 Comments

  

Here’s a sampling of what you have to look forward to this week on the PDD Calendar.

What do theater and basketball have in common? UWS has youth camps for both starting today.

Charlie Parr is back from Europe and playing a free concert at Chester Bowl on Tuesday for the Chester Creek Concert Series.

Farmers’ market season is in full swing with regular market days in the East Hillside and UMD on Wednesdays and Lincoln Park on Thursdays.

And it’s Grandma’s Marathon weekend with lots of music in two tents – the Grandma’s parking lot big top and the DeWitt-Seitz parking lot big top – on Friday and Saturday.

And if marathon weekend is just too much for you, you can escape to 48 hours of techno/electro/house music and camping at the Mystic Moon Festival just outside Ashland, Wisconsin this Friday through Sunday.

So what are you doing this week? Can we tag along? Any upcoming events that you want to promote? Let us know.

As a side note, I need a ruling from the grammar police. Which would you use?
a) farmers market
b) farmer's market
c) farmers' market
I've seen all three used. Discuss.

As a market customer, market vendor, and newbie market admin, my opinion is that all three are legitimate and that the best that market managers can do is aim for consistency. To that end, I propose a neo-punctuationism like latin@: "Farmer% Market."

By the way, have you seen the lettuce that's going to be for sale at the Lincoln Park market on Thursday? It's off the chain!

If it's an official union of farmers creating a market where they share the profits (ownership), then maybe the plural possessive. But in most cases, the term is meant to say there is a market with more than one farmer showing up to sell. So save yourself the headaches and ditch all apostrophes. That's good advice in any grammatical instance.

As mlatsch noted, the Transistor has given up and gone with "Farmers Market" for the sake of consistency.

And a big list of farmers markets.

AP Stylebook (at least as of 2007) says that it is "farmers market."  No apostrophe.

Also, that is some extraordinary lettuce.
