Wednesday Farmers Market – Bruce Trent Park

Not many Farmers Markets allow you have a picnic right beside all those fresh, organic goodies. But every Wednesday, at Bruce Trent Park off Rampart, from 4-8pm you can fill up on Van Dyke fresh produce, eat some of Walter’s Cajun Ribs, and top it all off with some funnel cakes, all on the beach blanket of your choice.

This year marks the tenth anniversary of these markets, and by all accounts, this is the most successful one — perhaps because of the bucolic (for Vegas anyway) setting.

And when you’re there, don’t forget to make a beeline for Steve Johnson’s roasted corn — it sells out the quickest and is worth every piece of floss you’ll need to extract it from your teeth.

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!

Our staff wishes all of you a happy and healthy 4th of July….

And we at ELV say screw the fireworks, go drink some (good) red and white wine, and we guarantee it’ll keep you from feelin’ blue.

To get you in the mood, click here and tell us if watching this movie trailer doesn’t bring a smile to your face….and get you thirsty.

Interestingly, after seeing Sideways one of ELV’s ex-wives commented that one of the characters (the super-needy stud) reminded her of you know who, while another ex- said she recognized us in the other guy (the nerdy, insecure drunk).

There’s a lesson in there which ELV prefers not to ponder.

Instead, it’s off to Marche Bacchus to get tanked…on anything but merlot.
