I live in Shawnee off 55th Street, a stones throw from Merriam. I produce organic veggies & bake all organic, and one of my goals for the year is to up production enough to participate in farmer's markets. Shawnee's is just down the street from me, but I would love to have a second venue. Merriam's is expensive to participate in, you have to commit to the full year's payment up front, and is quickly filled with prior year vendors. For all these reasons I would love to have a second, more convenient and more affordable venue in Merriam to sell through.
I would be happy to attend any meetings you organize, but am a single mom of a toddler and can't realisitically overcommit myself to being a "planner" at this point. Still... I would like to be included so I can contribute ideas, energy, and a heavy dose of enthusiasm.
I happen to think Merriam (and Shawnee for that matter) is more progressive than the city recognizes. And I'm not entirely sure why Brookside seems to be the "hub" for all things healthy, organic, and whole foods. :)

Well... In response to Dave's comment about needing a Merriam Drive property... my brother owns Heritage Tow, located @ 3500 Merriam Dr. His property is all wrong with no place for people to park and sell. But I am very familiar with who owns what in that area. Seems to me the BIG parking lot outside of the Eagle's club, just to the East of their main building... seems that would be an ideal location to utilize. I imagine they might want a donation to their club or something. And, unfortunately I don't know anyone who is a member of that club... does anyone on this email list know anyone with them?
The nice part about that location is (1) most weekdays and weekend mornings there is no one parked there and no activities taking place for their club, (2) it's located exactly one block to the East of Antioch, smack dab between 635 and I-35's highway entry/exit. It's also already paved and would be easy enough for vendors to set up tables and easy-up type tent structures.

I'm still interested in helping to organize. I could make phone calls or other contacts, but I need to know what I'm talking about. Is anyone interested in meeting for a half hour or so either at the library or a Merriam/Shawnee restaurant?

I have not yet responded to any of the emails, but I am also interested in doing what I can to help get this going. I'm also not a grower, but I am passionate about local organic food. Anne, what days/times are you available to meet? I'm fairly flexible... day time hours work best, but I could do evenings if that works better for you.

Although I work during the day, I can take off either a morning or afternoon with a few days notice.

Antioch Library or Central Resource on 87th is fine with me. I have most Friday afternoons free, but will have to request time off for other weekdays. I would like to meet and hear everyone's ideas.
