A rainy day in Holton, Kansas…

…but at the French Market, an annual Holton outdoor fair, people are smiling and chatting and poring over the eclectic selection of merchandise with that slow, friendly pace small towns seem to engender, Children scamper as their parents stroll (when was the last time you strolled?) among the many colorful booths packed with jewelry or pottery or antiques.

While the rest of the world may be going to hell in a hand basket, in the peaceful and beautiful and just-a-little-rainy Holton city square, everything seems just fine.

And that’s something even the most caffeinated of city dwellers can learn to love.

    Thanks for the great write up about Holton in the Kansas Talk. Katie Ingels, Chamber Director, e-mailed it to all the members with comments how proud it made her feel about Holton. Thank you, the small towns don’t get enough pats on the back.
