Summary

Canaan's Select Board approved the May 17 Oct. 4 Farmer and Artisan Market schedule and separately approved petting livestock and alcohol-product tastings at the market; the board discussed but did not decide on a season-long porta-potty placement.

The Canaan Select Board voted Feb. 17 to approve the Farmer and Artisan Market schedule for Sundays from May 17 through Oct. 4 and to permit petting livestock and alcohol-product tastings during the market season.

The motions to approve the market schedule and to allow both petting livestock and alcohol tastings were made by Stephen Freese and seconded by Scott Johnston; minutes record that the motions were approved. The board discussed installation of a porta-potty for the summer market season but did not make a decision on that point.

Permitting livestock petting and alcohol tastings are conditional on whatever public-health and licensing rules apply; the minutes do not specify additional permit conditions or which vendors, if any, applied at the meeting.
