Just when you thought the farmers market season had faded to an end, the Tacoma Farmers Market and Multicare Health System come to the rescue with an official Pre-Thanksgiving Farmers Market this Thursday from noon to 5 p.m. at South Fourth and I Street in Tacoma. According to hype, 15 vendors will be dealing in most of the tasty, fresh, local stuff you've come to expect from the Tacoma Farmers Market, while live performers dabble in folk and bluegrass action. While we've never understood why there's no apostrophe in "farmers market," we do know this is a pre-Thanksgiving produce gathering opportunity not to miss.

PREDICTION: The pre-Thanksgiving farmers market will probably lead to a pre-Thanksgiving Thanksgiving at Bobble Tiki's house. He's fat. Also, someone smart (albeit wearing sandals in the rain) will probably be able to explain to us why there's no apostrophe in farmers market.
