   We need a local farmers market in order to support small business, elevate our sense of community, and encourage people to buy local healthy produce. We could even have local musicians volunteer their time, and numerous other vendors as well. There are even options to work with the state of Texas to accept food stamps in order to provide an outlet for families to purchase healthy produce for their children even if they don't have a ton of money. The majority of neighboring communities currently have an event already. With the vast amount of small businesses in Dickinson an event like this would boost their marketing abilities and income. I have extensive experience running a market, so if you need any assistance getting this event in place I would love to help. There are many people interested in getting this underway, so we could construct a committee to oversee operations. Thank you for your serious consideration regarding this idea. -Roxie Parson
