The Courier had an article on Elgin's farmers market:

Miess estimated that roughly 200 to 300 people visit the market every Thursday — most arrive during lunchtime and after work.

"There are slow times, good times and fast times," Rankin said about the market. "Elgin is probably one of the smallest markets, but it's consistent.

I think it's small because nobody knows about it. Even I discovered it only by accident when going to the post office one Thursday.
