SLO Farmers Market Making ChangesSunday, June 25, 2006The San Luis Obispo Downtown Association, with the approval of City Council, plans to add more seating, create a better lighting system, and improve maintenance to enhance the San Luis Obispo Thursday night Farmers market and street fair's ambience. The Downtown Association will also begin allowing non-downtown businesses to participate as vendors.The changes are to make sure that the 23-year-old market 'keeps up with the times,' according to a recent Downtown Association press release. Allowing non-downtown businesses to participate in the market is a result of spots that go unfilled by downtown businesses. Non-downtown vendors will have to pay a higher rate and can only fill spaces not reserved first by members. Deborah Cash, president of the organization, says they strive to improve the San Luis Obispo Farmers Market. In 1998 the association produced and marketed the video 'How to Have a Farmers Market in Your Town.' Hundreds of videos were sold to communities across the nation that hoped to launch their own market. Tags: San Luis Obispo Central Coast News |
