Don\u2019t know what to do this weekend? Well, you\u2019ve come to the right place. Pull up a seat to the counter, and I\u2019ll tell you about everything that\u2019s hot and happening.<\/p>\n

The Dillon Farmers Market ends Sept. 13, so there\u2019s only a few Fridays left to get fresh produce, arts and crafts, baked goods and other farm-to-table treats. If you\u2019re a visitor looking for the top picks or a local wishing to patronize a new place, here are a few of my favorite offerings at the market. There are certainly other fabulous choices like Nicky\u2019s Quickie or The Argentos Empanadas & More, but this list focuses on businesses not native to Summit County.<\/p>\n

Decadent Saint<\/p>\n

Usually located toward the entrance, Decadent Saint sells concentrated sangria mixers that take a lot of effort out of mixology. The black currant and mocha flavors are my favorites, but be sure to have a sample or two to see which bottle you want to take home.<\/p>\n

Topoglow Granola<\/p>\n

Now if you\u2019d rather start your Friday morning with breakfast instead of alcohol, then head over to Topoglow Granola from Longmont. Keep an eye out for seasonal flavors such as pumpkin, but I also recommend the Lemonberry Lakes and Aspen Orange. The first tastes like lemon poppy seed muffins while the second combines pecans, chocolate and orange for delectable sweetness.<\/p>\n

Cream City Market<\/p>\n

Those looking to make poutine \u2014 that delicious Canadian dish of fries, cheese curds and gravy popping up at restaurants everywhere \u2014 need to visit Cream City Market for a bag of squeaky Wisconsin cheese curds. I\u2019m there so often I have a punch card, which I recommend grabbing because you\u2019ll definitely be back.<\/p>\n

Eagle Smoked Salmon Inc.<\/p>\n

Gypsum-based Kaleb\u2019s Katch sadly isn\u2019t at the market this year, but Eagle Smoked Salmon Inc., is another avenue for Norwegian salmon, trout or salmon pate and lox to top your bagels. We may be miles from the ocean, but you don\u2019t have to leave fantastic fish out of your diet.<\/p>\n

Wag\u2019s World Orchards<\/p>\n

This is a farmers market, so of course you have to pick up fruits and vegetables. While you can\u2019t really go wrong with any of those present, these folks from Eckert seem to always have a wide variety of products.<\/p>\n

Jackie\u2019s Java<\/p>\n

If you need something to wash down all of that food, Jackie\u2019s Java is the way to go. I no longer live in Fort Collins, but I\u2019ll always call myself a Ram, which is why I can\u2019t help but smile when seeing the familiar bags of regular, flavored or decaf beans. Be sure to pour yourself a latte on nitro, too.<\/p>\n

Homemade European Foods<\/p>\n

Sure, most people go to this stand for the schnitzel sandwich or bratwurst, but the Slovak in me only cares about the pierogies and egg noodles. And if I have sweets on the brain, I\u2019ll also pick up some almond cake, strudels or coffee cake.<\/p>\n

The market is also home to live music. While shopping, be sure to catch John Truscelli on Aug. 30, Jessica Jones on Sept. 6 and Philip Mancuso on Sept. 13.<\/p>\n
