Our downtown is on its way back up because the local university has taken an interest in it but many of the students are gone during peak farmers market season. And, a lot of people living downtown, other than students, are poor. It's a combination that makes having a successful farmers market difficult. But, I'm convinced, we need a market downtown and we need to find a way to do it.bookwormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06589840841266507266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199270158927284616.post-14725971330051831752014-07-11T18:12:06.420-04:002014-07-11T18:12:06.420-04:00I shared your post in my Facebook group.....I shared your post in my Facebook group.....Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07693363377165104814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199270158927284616.post-19106846823748400542014-07-11T06:38:10.691-04:002014-07-11T06:38:10.691-04:00It must be concerning, especially when they are no...It must be concerning, especially when they are not doing much to help themselves. It does seem that local markets suffer. We always support local businesses and normally use our local greengrocers rather than larger supermarkets.<br />It's good that you have decided to take action though, keep going!Sophie Bownshttp://sophiebowns.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199270158927284616.post-68393404031037979652014-07-10T20:01:10.629-04:002014-07-10T20:01:10.629-04:00I'm so glad you decided to take action!

Being downtown is a prime location. Our Farmers Market is very busy and pricey also. It's opened on Saturday and Sunday, plus some weekdays I think though not venues. I would think that changing the day to a Saturday would help since it's an off work day. Our market has little eateries in and close by which helps. Keep plugging away.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199270158927284616.post-49523068942478131152014-07-10T19:01:40.550-04:002014-07-10T19:01:40.550-04:00Thank you, Suzie.

Everybody has prior commitments--well, maybe not me, but I'm the exception being old and doddery. Keep plugging for your local market. Of course, that official will listen to you--she's 'just a person' too. Visiting from NaBlo... I'm number 23.Francene Stanleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08298485336064691700noreply@blogger.com
