Farmers markets no place for dogs

Went to the Everett Farmers Market on June 1 for the first time and probably the last. Got there right when it started and it was already very crowded. One thing I noticed was the abundance of dogs. I like dogs a lot, but this is not the place for them. They are all interested in checking out all the other dogs, so they are at the end of the leash across the aisles making it even harder to maneuver through the crowd.

Please leave the dogs at home, folks.
