Noelle Braun is executive director of the Downtown West Bend Association.
“Over the past month, we have received feedback from so many in the community who have shared their thoughts on the West Bend Farmers’ Market location moving forward. We have surveyed Downtown West Bend businesses, Farmers’ Market vendors, and Farmers’ Market patrons, and we appreciate everyone’s voices being heard.
“The feedback we have received is overwhelmingly in favor of bringing our beloved Farmers’ Market back to Main Street. We believe this location will have the greatest economic impact for the vendors and the Downtown Businesses and will showcase our historic downtown and newly reconstructed Main Street.
“Our director will be writing the Special Events permit for this location and it will be up for approval by the West Bend Common Council in January 2024. We’re excited to continue hosting the No. 1 voted Farmers’ Market in Wisconsin.
“We will continue our nonprofit’s mission of enhancing and preserving the heart of West Bend by planning and hosting wonderful events that will attract visitors near and far to our beautiful and flourishing Downtown.”
Having farmers market downtown is cramped and crowded. No place to park.How about having it at the fair park? Not a fan of the downtown area anyway, not much shopping, just bar after bar after bar..
yay downtown is where it should be!!
