Rose Harris smoked her Jamaican-style jerk chicken Saturday at Baltimore's African American Festival amid the thumping of African drummers, the sounds of a jazz musician and a steady stream of revelers. Adding a mix of curry and Old Bay to her cabbage as she prepared it for sale at her Innocent Cuisine booth, the Woodlawn woman said she's sold her food for the last five years at the annual festival not just to make a payday, but to feel a sense of community. "Baltimore is number-one for jerk chicken, outside of Jamaica," she said.

Three weeks ago we told you that The Pea Man (aka Thomas McCarthy of Woodside Greenhouse, Caroline County) said he should be bringing peas in about three weeks. Three weeks later he brought peas. By 10 a.m. all of his peas were gone. And so was he. He'll be back next week with more peas. Still, the market seemed especially crowded on Mother's Day, and the craft booths were doing brisker business than usual. Baltimore Sun contributor John Houser III checked out the market's new pizza vendor, Pizza Ruby , which has just stepped in for the departed Red Zebra.

Imean Shaheed was working last Sunday when federal agents rushed into the Patapsco Flea Market, announced over the loudspeaker that the bazaar was closed for business and shut down vendors selling knockoff Nikes, Louis Vuitton bags and Tiffany & Co. jewelry. "It was like the movies," the 20-year-old Shaheed said Saturday after the Cherry Hill flea market re-opened. Some booths were empty, but the parking lot was full and customers flocked to vendors such as Shaheed who were open for business.

I also have to agree with a letter from Ed of Baltimore ( "Where's the art at Artscape" July 20). My wife and I have gone to the Artscape at least three other times and found it enjoyable. This time we were very disappointed with what we saw. We saw very little art and a lot of commercial setups. Why would I want to spend my time walking around and see everyday companies at this event? There was very little art, a lot of food vendors, and women's clothing, jewelry and other companies promoting their goods.

For her debut at the Baltimore Farmers' Market, vendor Eula McDowell brought what she figured was more than enough black-eyed pea, lentil and navy bean soup to last through the day — and sold out in two hours. "I was really proud of myself," McDowell said about her early market success with Savory Bean Soups. "At first I was satisfied with just being at the farmers' market, but customers told me they wanted to see me throughout the week. " McDowell listened. Her market fare has now grown into The Big Bean Theory, a full-time operation she opened last November at Owings Mills Mall.

Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake said Wednesday that drafting a new contract to continue the Baltimore Grand Prix was the city's smartest move, even as others questioned why the deal didn't do more to recover losses to vendors and taxpayers from the 2011 race. "It's in the best interest for our local economy, and the best interest of the city, that we move forward, but not move forward with any risk to taxpayers," Rawlings-Blake said during brief comments at City Hall. Some were quick to agree with the mayor, portraying the five-year deal with new operator Downforce Racing Inc. as an economic boon for Baltimore.

Forget cheap televisions, laptops and clothes. On Saturday, shoppers at the annual Bazaart holiday market at the American Visionary Art Museum in Baltimore snatched up handmade bird houses, hand-printed s hirts and handblown glass jewelry. The event, in its seventh year, was billed as an alternative to Black Friday, which marks the start of the holiday shopping season and often creates a frenzy of discount-seeking consumers. This year, many big-box retailers and department stores opened earlier than ever – just hours after families finished their Thanksgiving meals.

Maryland's Republican Party is once again in the red and plans to move its party headquarters to cut costs, according to financial reports discussed Saturday at the party's annual convention. The party owes $122,000, most of it to two vendors, and has $48,000 in its bank accounts, GOP Treasurer R. Christopher Rosenthal told delegates meeting at the Sheraton Annapolis Hotel. The party also has access to a $33,000 line of credit, which he says adds flexibility. "I'd like to see it better than that," Rosenthal said.
