If you are in favor of the Star Bond project providing funds to build a canopy over the Market area, let us know or contact the City Commissioners.  This is a project that would not cost the City, but would use a portion of sales tax generated from that area.  And .  . . it would not only benefit the Market, but whatever other community organization that would like to use that area. You can support your Farmers' Market by buying a Plant a Carrot sign to put in your yard and/or "I love my Farmers Market" bumper sticker.
