TV diva Donna Hamilton was there with husband David Paulson, who pointed out that the market's sausage and biscuits totally beat out the usual party hors d'oeuvres.
Baltimore Community Foundation bigwig Cheryl Casciani never misses this party. "I do my shopping, and socialize."
Baltimore promotions director Bill Gilmore calls the Farmers' Market "the real thing. ... It's fun because no one has makeup and good clothes on. Baseball caps really work."

We should all have the last couple of weeks that Susie Schapiro just had. First, there was the whirlwind vacation with amour David Nevins: three days in Paris, then a Baltic cruise from Copenhagen to St. Petersburg to Stockholm. She returned to be honored as the Spirited Woman of the year at a Red Cross fundraising luncheon at Morton's. Susie has spent years providing educational testing for children who have learning challenges and weaknesses in school, much of that pro bono.
"I'm very, very honored and really, really flattered. But, truthfully, I don't enjoy being in the spotlight," she whispered. She prefers the sidelines, watching her kids - law school grad Lindsay, grad student Courtney and pre-med student Evan - honored for their accomplishments.
