It was nothing but smiles walking through the grand opening of the Spokane Public Market. It was a different story yesterday when it was nothing but stress and hard work. Vendors lined each wall and filled the air with aromas of pastys, cupcakes, huckleberry popcorn, fresh flowers, sausage and more.
