Market Bag Promo Causes Outbreak of Happiness at Local Market

There were reports of outbreaks of smiles for many patrons to the Farmers Market last Thursday. The market manager has admitted that the cause of the outbreak was due to a promotional event - a gift of a free market bag with purchase. One of the patrons who fell victim to this outbreak was the beloved Miss Drish, pictured above clutching a cookie from Pekara Bakery. The market manager stated that there will probably be another outbreak sometime in the near future because "smiles and expressions of praise for the market tend to break out when people visit the Market". The manager doesn't expect the outbreak to be contained until after August 27th, the last day of the market season.
