Glad to hear you got some rain. Yes during market day isn't the best, but in this part of the country you take it when you can get it. We had rain last night, 2.25 inches, then this morning was almost perfect. Had one of my best days ever. Last time we had a market on July 4th, I sold $20 worth of produce and $10 of that was my own parents. It made me really nervous today if today was going to be good or bad.
It was so hot for a 7-10 days, now it has cooled down and everything is starting to bloom and grow.

We got the rain. 4th of July weekend is always our best market day. And, it rained. Started around 7 while we were trying to set up and didn't stop until 1 when we were loading up.
Oh well. I won't complain about much needed rain, I just wish it had waited until market was over.
As for crops, we have precious little. It's been too hot, too early, for too long. Not many tomatoes, squash won't even bloom, cucumbers shrivel up. The corn was great, but the raccoons, coyotes and deer decided to have a party with our corn as the main course. Green beans got tough before they even sized up. The only thing looking good is the eggplant, and of course it's not one of our big money makers.
We just keep on planting though. And, hope for a profitable fall.
