 MINUTES - Roxana Stitt:

The October 2024 minutes were read.  Motion by Linda Wilbur to accept minutes. Seconded by Julie Bell. Passed.

Guest Speaker Brecken Johnson proposed a Farmer’s Market from April to October 7 am - 12 pm on the third Saturday of each month.  All booths outside, no electricity needed. All vendors would be local. The vendor money would go to the Peck CC for building improvements. Vendors would setup, tear down and pick up all trash. The building might be open for bathrooms, only. Brecken knows about 20 vendors with a variety of items and would be happy to be here. I would like to see 15-20 per month. Advertising will be on Facebook, Instagram, posters, and word of mouth. 

Discussion - The idea sounds great! It would involve the community, local vendors and gives the community more exposure. 

Bryan - We could also advertise it on the sign, also. We can do a motion to approve it. Could you get a list of vendors together?

Brecken - Yes, I can have it by February. On the day of the events, the vendors can pay by cash or check.

Sam moved that we approve the Farmer’s Market idea from Brecken Johnson. Linda seconded. The motion passed.
