The commission also discussed the 2026 farmers market schedule: it will open the first weekend of June and run through the last week of October, expanded by two weeks compared with prior years and featuring eight theme days. Opening day will have a baseball theme; there will be family-focused and holiday-themed days throughout the season. "Applications are coming in," a market organizer said, and vendors can request an application by emailing the organizer, Kelly or Debbie at town hall.
Members described efforts to favor tent-based vendors on the green and to encourage food trucks only when necessary in order to preserve parking and pedestrian space. They also noted partnerships between the thrift store and local businesses for pop-ups, including possible Girl Scout cookie booths in March and the return of coffee vendors for summer events.
The commission recorded there were no public comments at the meeting and then moved to adjourn. A motion to adjourn was made and seconded; the transcript does not show a detailed roll-call tally for that final vote.
