I’ve been trying to figure out exactly why they need $50K to start a Farmer’s Market at that High School. Doesn’t it have a parking lot? Advertise for farmers to come and sell on this date at that time; put out some inexpensive flyers and get the local radio and TV stations to do public service announcements, get the local paper to run a story. There you have your farmer’s market!
They did that at our local Petsmart parking lot and it didn’t cost any $50k.
