FARMERS MARKET: Change of venue hurt businesses

| June 2, 2024 1:00 AM

We have a small store downtown on Sherman Avenue and I’d like to give a big shout out to whomever had the audacity and underhanded partaking in denying the permits to the vendors of the original Farmers Market that had been doing business downtown for many years, and which also brought live music to McEuen Park on Wednesdays. They were forced to move to Riverstone as a place to conduct business two seasons ago.

Because of this, we have seen a 70% drop in our sales on Wednesdays for the last two years with this change. So to whomever made that decision and anyone that followed their lead, THANKS, for the huge disservice for the loss of income to the Sherman Avenue businesses to serve whatever agenda you had for denying the permits to the original Farmers Market vendors. You should be fired.
