Hickman council approves Arts Council farmers market request; location and vendor insurance to be determined
Summary
The council approved the Arts Council’s request to host a farmers market on two Thursdays per month May–September, with vendors required to carry insurance and the final location to be set by staff.
The Hickman City Council approved a request from the Arts Council to hold a seasonal farmers market on the second and fourth Thursdays from May through September, contingent on vendor insurance and a staff-selected location.
Councilors discussed potential downtown locations (Locust Street, Third Street, or private lots near Main), parking and accessibility concerns, hours (proposed 5–8 p.m.), seasonal vendor fees mentioned in discussion ($250 for the season or $35 for a single week), and the need for each vendor to provide liability insurance certificates. The council approved the request by motion with the location and insurance requirements to be finalized by city staff.
What happens next: staff will work with event organizers to identify a final location and insurance procedures and will return details as needed for operational coordination and publicity.
