A big slice of normal is being served up this Saturday!  It's the triumphant return of the annual Brick Farmers Market to Windward Beach Park starting this weekend!  This makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside (and excited to fill my fridge)...yes, there will be vegetables out the wazoo, but more importantly there will be key lime pie.
The market will be open ever Saturday between tomorrow May 1st and Oct. 2 from 8:30 a.m.to 1:30 p.m.  These are expanded hours due to the success of the program in the past and also to make up for not having it last year. Nearly 50 vendors have signed up to be a part of this year's market. Here is a list of vendors and their featured items:

LOOK: Here are the 50 best beach towns in America

Every beach town has its share of pluses and minuses, which got us thinking about what makes a beach town the best one to live in. To find out, Stacker consulted data from WalletHub, released June 17, 2020, that compares U.S. beach towns. Ratings are based on six categories: affordability, weather, safety, economy, education and health, and quality of life. The cities ranged in population from 10,000 to 150,000, but they had to have at least one local beach listed on TripAdvisor. Read the full methodology here. From those rankings, we selected the top 50. Readers who live in California and Florida will be unsurprised to learn that many of towns featured here are in one of those two states.

Keep reading to see if your favorite beach town made the cut.
