Just a thought....but how about changing the venue of FM (Farmer's Market)?
Move the market to the fair grounds.The fair grounds has plenty of space in
a park like setting, lots of parking ( more to come), a ready made stage
area, bathrooms, a kitchen/grill and indoor facilities in case of inclement
weather. Historically fair grounds were established to showcase agricultural
products and marrying  the market with the fairgrounds could be an ideal
solution.  I have talked with some of the venders at the market and they
don't  care where the market is located as long as they  have space to sell
their products and have customers. The fair grounds offers more space to
allow for more venders. The local bakeries and restaurants  could set up
shop at the fairgrounds  in the same way that Mikey's Gyro's does during the
Fair. Saturday of the Fair would be the only time the fairgrounds would be
unavailable.
