It was a tiny market put on by the church. From the sound of if, the market was a charity oriented market.
I learned that some of the treats that are traditional for these markets are this fried potato cake served with apple sauce, as well as mulled wine. The potato thing with apple sauce, was super good...it somehow reminded me of my childhood. I really didn't like the mulled wine, which probably had to do with disliking red wine to begin with. The mulled wine is made from red wine, heated with spices added to it.
The market also had these cute old men dressed as santa claus, creating a santa slot machine. You give a dollar to the charity and then you get to pull one of the santa's arms, and they jingle around, and when they stop they pull an object out of their bags. If they all pull out the same one, then you win a treat, if not you win nothing but good will in your heart.
For my first market it was really adorable and quaint. It was a good starting point for the holidays!!
