Downtown Farmer's Market sparks support and concerns
Support from 18 residents and business owners backed the May 7 start of the downtown market aimed at drawing locals to shop and dine. Three opponents urged relocation, while market manager Ron La Chance highlighted vendor quality and community benefits. Some merchants reported higher sales on Wednesdays, including Great News Gifts and Ruby's Restaurant, though Zia Jewelry faced declines. OCMA funds flow back into town for beautification and town improvements.
