Keep the Farmers' Market Local - No Foolin!

Today the Chamber goes before an appointed board and makes our best pitch to win the contract to operate the South Pasadena Farmers' Market. It'll be very tempting to crack a joke or two, being April Fools' day, but I think we might refrain. In all seriousness - this is important for the City and for the Chamber. Our whole approach to the market is to keep it locally controlled. We're thankful that a corporate entity stepped in to operate it when the local sponsoring agency went bust, but we're even more thankful that the City had the sense to put it out for bid to give us a chance to bring it back to South Pasadena. Stay tuned, we'll probably be asking for support one way or another at an April 21 City Council meeting when the recommendation of the advisory panel will be considered.
