Saturday, June 14, food trucks, baked goods and homemade items waited for customers at the monthly Oil Patch Market in downtown Artesia.

Sondra Bailey from Carlsbad sold chain male items, homemade bread and leather fresheners.

“It gives me something to do and I can try and make money off of it,” she said as customers were walking by her booth along Main Street.

Mary Pettus of Sun Country Home and Gardens Nursery was there selling plants and homemade pecans and honey.

“The local honey is from a beekeeper in Carlsbad,” she said.

The next market is from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. July 12.
