Farmers Market to Move to Chi Bro Park for 2015

The Manchester Farmers Market Committee announced last week that this summer the farmers market will set up in Chi Bro Park instead of on Adrian Street as usual. Because Main Street’s Bridge will be out while a new bridge is built, Adrian Street between Duncan and Main St. will make up part of the detour and will be unavailable for use by the Farmers Market.

Chi Bro Park, does have advantages. The Farmers Market will have use of the pavilion. Chi Bro has a drinking fountain, spigot, port-a-potty, ample parking, and best of all, a playground for kids to play on while their parents shop the Farmers Market. Ruth VanBoglen pointed out another advantage, 9,000 vehicles a day drive past Chi Bro on M-52 which will increase the Farmers Market visibility. Hopefully drivers who may have driven through the intersection for years but never turned onto Main Street to visit the Farmers Market will opt to stop when actually driving by it.

The Farmers Market is currently looking for a Market Manager to run the 2015 Farmers Market in it’s new location. Click HERE for more info. If you have questions about the new location, the Market Manager position or the Manchester Farmers Market in general, email farmersmarket48158@gmail.com or call and leave a message at 734-428-7872.
