A Permanent home, how can you help?

I have run into several friends around town who all stopped and asked me how the public meetings with the Town of Cary went regarding our proposal to find a permanent home for the farmers' market. Everyone wants to know how they can help. I am so grateful for the support of so many residents who like me have found comfort in this flourishing market.
The public meetings went very well. It was evident to the town that we have many vocal supporters in the community. Thank you to all who came out and to those who could not who wrote to the town and signed the petition. The goal of the public meetings was to help prioritize the master planning process for the Parks and Recreation department of the Town of Cary by showing them what our citizens find important in their community.
This process is still going strong and we need a lot more signatures on our petition before presenting it to the town as well as more letters to the parksplan@townofcary.org email address. We'd love to get to at least 1,000 Cary resident signatures.
Please help us gather more signatures for our petition so we can present them at an upcoming Parks and Recreation board meeting.
Please sign our petition.
