Committee reviews farmer's market host and community garden plans
Summary
The committee heard the farmer's market will begin May 2 and run every other weekend; the community garden will till roughly 10 plots this year after 16 tilled last year and the committee discussed outreach and brochure printing costs.
Committee member (Speaker 2) reported that the farmer's market will start Saturday, May 2 and run every other weekend; she said Sarah Smith of Big Time Rentals and Shine Next Decor is the market host and will manage vendors and promotion.
On the community garden, the committee member said last year 16 plots were tilled and eight plots were signed up; this year the plan is to till about 10 plots and encourage more participants. The committee discussed outreach through brochures (250 trifold brochures quoted at about $240, 500 for about $250 from a cited printer) and distribution in village brochure holders. Members agreed to proceed with outreach and to look into posting event information at county and America's 250 sites to boost attendance and vendor participation.
Next steps: market host to ramp up vendor recruitment and promotion; staff to explore brochure printing and distribution for upcoming events.
