The farmers market is in deep gratitude for the huge outpouring of support and action to assist in the signage issue for the market. At this time the city is working diligently and in good faith with the market to find a solution.
Special City Council Work Session
Thursday, July 15th, 5.30pm:
The market was informed that this meeting has been postponed due to a scheduling conflict in the city chambers and a new date will be announced shortly.
City Council Session
Tuesday, July 13th, 4.30pm:
Given that the city and market are working together at this time to find a solution and the item is not on the council’s agenda that evening to vote on, it was determined that it is not to the market’s advantage to make a big protest in front of council chambers on Tuesday, July 13th.
The lack of signage has seriously affected traffic. Some vendors are considering to discontinue their attendance because it does not make sense to them to participate in a farmers market venue 1.5 miles from the highway without proper signage. In the hope that a solution may be found quickly, management will keep the market open for now. If the city process turns out be lengthy and too much momentum at the market is lost, management may consider closing the market until a permanent solution to creating highway visibility is found.
Market will keep everyone posted as to how things are progressing.
The market will be open tomorrow on Sunday, July 11th from 9am-1pm.
Thank you for your support and for caring so much about our effort to build a local sustainable food network.
Please call or e-mail with your questions and concerns.
Sincerely,
Katrin Themlitz
