  Go fresh at these Valley farmers markets

  There is perhaps no better place to buy fresh, locally grown food than at a farmers market. Juicy peaches, vine-ripe tomatoes and sweet-tasting blackberries will all soon be in abundance.

  COMMUNITY CONVERSATION: All-local open-air market

  Something that would bring me downtown on a regular basis is an open air market and food pavilion. This would be a place to buy local produce, locally made items such as breads, honey, pastries, barbecue sauces, salsa. The open air market should have a food pavilion where food venders of mixed ethnicity can sell fresh, made on the spot dishes from around the world.

  This market/pavilion should be limited to locally grown or produced items and shouldn't allow other imported goods.

  COMMUNITY CONVERSATION: Ideas galore

  This is a no-brainer. What gets us out of the house: yard sales, flea markets, fresh produce markets, block/book sales, walk-a-thons, use different days for different attraction events. Don't leave the kids out. Why have whole families from the west side go all the way to Manchester for a Sunday meal?

  Set up a buffet on the mall. Make the tram less pokey. Flea markets ala San Jose and San Francisco's Treasure Island are attractive money makers, not only for the sellers but for the city as well. Space rentals, permits, charge flat $1 parking on special days.

  Keep it inclusive. This Valley is wealthy in multicultural groups. Do not limit to one ethnic group.
