Within 30 days of April 4th, 2012?

Isn't that next Wednesday?

Not a lot of time to respond if someone had another idea.

How long has this idea been in place?

Yes, that is next Wednesday, the date when the legal notice will first appear in the newspaper. The farmer's market was at this location all of last season. The "idea" may have germinated during that time. The web site for the Cannon County Farmer's Market includes this bit if information: "For more information, please contact Bruce Steelman at the Cannon County Extension Office at 563-2554."

I feel this is not best place for the Farmer's Market. this land floods & is on private property with only a 40 year lease.Should be on county land.The commission voted a 5-5 tie with Mike's vote breaking the tie for it.
