*Going from strength to strength at the farmer's market-- did 105 ppl last wk, 560 in 8wks. Revenue is decent, funding volunteer lunches. Word is getting around. Still only Saturday. One volunteer came in from Paths for People. As we grow we're experimenting with ways to commandeer more space. Intending to continue through Fringe. Chatted with Donna at folk fest and they respect us and have an open mind for proposals for next yr. September 19th is international parking day (as per the Parking Reform Network)- you find under-utilised parking and invite ppl to imagine it being used differently. Wikwentowin community league is down to plan something-- working to get buy-in from City and businesses around 102 ave and 121 st to do an event at that corner. | *Going from strength to strength at the farmer's market-- did 105 ppl last wk, 560 in 8wks.
