Dear Mr. David,

Dear Mayor Nina Jonas,

I am a supporter of the Ketchum farmers’ market and am in favor of the weekly market remaining on Fourth Street between East Avenue and Walnut Avenue. The farmers’ market plays an important role in Ketchum’s vibrant town core and should not be prompted to relocate by the City of Ketchum, its mayor, or other departments without public input. The City block that it has occupied for the past eight years was designed and constructed with activities such as the farmers’ market in mind and is accomplishing the goal of invigorating downtown Ketchum.

I support the farmers’ market and would like to continue to attend the market at its current location. I appreciate the live music and festive atmosphere that this event provides on Tuesday afternoons throughout the summer. I ask that the City support the farmers’ market in their goal of supplying fresh fruits and vegetables to the citizens of the Wood River Valley. Please renew the event permit for the Wood River Farmers’ Market Association and continue to waive the fees associated with the special events permit as the city has done in the past.

I support my farmers’ market and so should the City of Ketchum.

Sincerely,
