What this means
The committee reviewed how the farmers market’s opening day went and identified a few changes for the next market. Traffic delays made some vendors late, so a reminder was sent to leave earlier and allow extra travel time. Members also discussed possibly adding another porta-potty and hand-washing station and improving the Wi‑Fi so vendors can process payments more reliably.
