You might want to e-mail Tony Piccola (sp?) at South Austin Farmers'
Market (mostly organic growers). This market sets up to sell from 8 am
to 1 pm in the El Gallo parking lot, just across from the South
Congress entrance of St. Edward's University. It's very small and
congenial & this weekend at 10 am there'll be a brass quintet playing,
probably the Frontier.
