Brilliant red cherries brightened a rainy morning during the Glenview Farmers Market at the Historic Wagner Farm Saturday.

"The cherries were in season this week and last week, and they're phenomenal," said Hans Varga, who performs customer service and engagement for the Glenview Farmers Market, which takes place from 8 a.m. until noon Saturdays through October 4.

In addition to the cherries, an assortment of fresh fruit and vegetables was on offer at the farmers market, in addition to staples such as honey, breads, meat and fresh eggs.

Entertainment was provided by the Northshore harmonizers, an all-female barbershop-style group that has been around for 75 years, according to conductor Paul Langford.

"A lot of what you're hearing today is old barbershop standards originally sung by men," Langford said. "We do pop stuff too from the '60s and '70s, folk music and spirituals. It's a variety."

Cherries are in season and available for purchase at the Glenview Farmers Market Saturday.
