CHICOPEE — The weekly Wednesday Chicopee Farmer's Market is an indoor-outdoor affair.

Surrounded by plenty of fresh air, the farm produce, food product and artist bazaar on Chicopee Street is shielded from the rain and harsh sun by the wide concrete umbrella of the Interstate 391 overpass. Vendors can unpack and repack their items without worry or water.

According to James Sroka of the Valley Opportunity Council, which co-sponsors the event with the City of Chicopee, about 15 vendors show up every week. At the end of this rainbow of produce, shoppers can find a pot of golden honey, jams and jellies, maple syrup, unique personal care products and locally made crafts and jewelry.

Representatives of Sunshine Village sell hand-painted garden signs and help sell used books for the Chicopee Library next to the Valley Opportunity Council table.

The farmer's market will be at that location every Wednesday, 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., through Sept. 2, and there is plenty of free parking.
