DELPHOS, Ohio (WLIO) - Main Street in Delphos was packed with people on Thursday as the Delphos Chamber of Commerce hosted the first Downtown Farmer's Market and Block Party of the summer.
The farmer's market brings in growers, bakers, craftsmen, and small businesses to give the public a variety of goods. Food trucks provided shoppers with some good eats and cold drinks as they battled the heat. At the same time, businesses around town offered plenty of fun activities and goodies for the public.

"The whole purpose is to get people downtown and keep them downtown, so we can engage the business community with our public as much as possible. Get to know everybody's faces, because it's a full circle. The people help the businesses, the businesses then turn around and donate back to all the events and everything for the community. So we need to all work together," said Lindsey Lane, executive director with the Delphos Area Chamber of Commerce.
The farmer's markets will take place twice a month through August, on the second and fourth Thursdays from 4 to 6 p.m. Business block parties will be held during the first market of each month.
