The Farmers <br />Market has been approved as a non-profit organization. The Kennedy's <br />hope to begin operating on May 1, 1993 and remain open through the end <br />of October. Two sites have been tentatively chosen from which to <br />operate the Farmers Market: the downtown parking lot behind Johnson's <br />Department Store and the Cenex location on Highway 10 and Hudson Street. <br /> <br />The Cenex site is zoned C3 and allows produce markets, however, the <br />downtown site is zoned C1 and does not.
