What the Event Game Team Liked Best

The team that observed the interior area in the parking lot liked the diversity of both people and produce with everything from a organ grinder with monkey to the extra large cabbage. They appreciated the ambience of the space, the homegrown and organic foods and the contrast of new things in an old setting. They found the market energetic and exciting and enjoyed the friendliness, smells, and free samples.

What Could Be Improved

The group felt the interior was crowded and needed better flow of shoppers. They saw a need for bathroom facilities, more children's attractions and would like to have more shade in the area.

Short Term

• Close 11th Street for more room
  
• Add benches, designate rest areas
  
• Extend hours to two mornings, both Saturday and Sunday
  
• Add children's activities

Long Term

• Site the market on a bricked area instead of asphalt
  
• Add awning, super large tent, banners
  
• Create a display with a "working" scene of the original Farmers Market to promote the history of the event
  
• Ongoing, consistent marketing and promotion
