I was going to do a single post all about my recent trip, but then I realized I got so many interesting shots at the Green Dragon that I should just share them. I mean, the Green Dragon is quite a unique and colorful place.
My two girlfriends and I have done an annual trip like this for 18 years running. All but one of those trips has been to Lancaster, PA. And most have included a visit to this crazy place.
The Green Dragon, billed as a “farmer’s market and auction,” has been in business in Ephrata, Pennsylvania, since 1932. It’s an amazing, eclectic collection of merchants selling the widest variety of stuff you could ever imagine. Most of these pics speak for themselves. So sit back, scroll through, and enjoy.

Do you see the frog? No he did not come home with me.
Carol and Tracey
As an aside, Carol got a polka dot sweatshirt for her birthday from Granny T, too, but she was too embarrassed to wear it and have us all match.
Sunnyside Pastries
Diabetic socks? WTF?
Potato Chips and Tupperware
Whoopie Pies!
Sprinkles in every color combination.
Team Parking. You know, for the Amish buggies.
Art
Essential Food
Carol & Tracey
One of many produce stands.
Crazy leggings.
Need an alien, anyone? Fuzzy, I know you want one.
Big-nosed dogs.
Biker Barbie and her possessed-looking baby doll friend.
Easter Bunny (these were all over the place in Lancaster this year)
Yes, this bunny came home with me. Carol gets props for the name thing.
Audrey’s
Chocolate-dipped peeps!
Noodles!
Sausage by Newswanger. How’s that for a name?
How’s that for variety? And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Really.
The Green Dragon is always fun for us. But then, how can you not have fun shopping with your girlfriends?
I really love those ladies!

The Green Dragon looks like so much fun to wander around, and eat, and wander, and eat.
I think the matching polka dot pullovers are cute.
Oh and on a side note – thanks, I really want an apple fritter now……….
Diabetic socks huh? Yea….that’s all I got. 🙂

OH Kathy , I’m so disappointed that Carol didn’t wear her pink polka-do sweatshirt. It would match my Pink Crocs and I also have a pink hat and pink shirt. I wished I had a Granny-T
I love all your photos but I kept starring at those Moochie Pies. Must be hungry
Isn’t it great to get together with friends ?

Amy, a little comment is better than no comment any day!
Brandy, the Green Dragon is a unique place for sure. Sorry about the apple fritter inspiration!
Bob, those are Whoopie Pies, not moochies. Although seeing someone with a Whoopie would put you in a mooching frame of mind.
How cute! Love the sweatshirts. Now you have a fashion blog!
