We run a farmers market located in Veterans Memorial Park on Saturdays May to October. We offer local produce and crafts and this year have added music to the ambiance. We have brought music back to the market for the first time since before covid. It has added a wonderful community feel to the market but this does come at a cost. So, for that reason we are hoping Langford can help us bring the community together by supporting the music. In our first season of music we paid $120 per set (10:30am – 1:30pm) which proved challenging and eliminated some available talent. We are hoping that offering $175 per set in the 2024 season will increase our options. ### Budget - 23 weeks x $175.00 = $4025.00 - plus we also pay a Socan fee of $85.00 annually We have also added a paid position to help with setup and take down of the market at a cost of $50 per week. - 23 weeks x $50.00 = $1150.00 We are hoping Langford can support us with a grant of $5000.00 I have also have attached our presentation Nov 2nd to the Community Advisory Committee. ### Contact If you have any questions please contact Linda Webb Thank you for your consideration. ### Board of Directors - President - Tony Oberstellar - Treasurer - Shirley Oberstellar - Secretary - Debbie - Market Manager - Jacquie - Music Liasson - Linda Webb - Director at large - Paige Tatem
