Sustainability board picks potential Oshkosh Farmers Market dates, plans outreach and themes
Summary
Board members identified tentative dates for tabling at the Oshkosh Farmers Market, discussed staffing needs and possible outreach themes including composting and rain barrels, and agreed to confirm availability with city staff.
Board members tentatively selected dates to staff an Oshkosh Farmers Market table and discussed outreach themes for the season during the May 5 meeting.
Emma, the board staff contact, said available candidate dates included June 21, one August date (August 9 or 16), and an October date (the board favored Oct. 11 over Oct. 25). The group agreed to prioritize June 21 and one August date, with Oct. 11 as a backup if needed. Members noted that the city provides two free slots for service organizations and that staffing each date ideally requires at least two volunteers.
Board members suggested possible themes for the market tabling, including outreach on composting, rain barrels, native plants and general sustainability education. They also discussed survey and engagement approaches to use while tabling and requested that staff finalize site availability and return confirmed dates by the next meeting so the group can prepare materials.
No formal vote was taken; Emma will follow up with the city to confirm Farmers Market dates and share finalized slots with volunteers.
