We need your help to get our market back where they deserve to be - on our historic courthouse lawn! When it comes to our local farmers and crafters who take time out of their days to provide a service for our residents, which in return promotes the wealth of many small businesses alike, what better place for them to be than on our historic courthouse property where it all began! The way the current situation stands, our market would love to return but not under the supervision of the DBA. It is not our attempt to disrupt the current ways of doing things in our beautiful town of Lapeer, but to do what the community wants for the better good of all parties involved.

My husband and I, with the collaboration of local downtown business owners, have organized a new association in an attempt to reserve the courthouse lawn, as well as, the surrounding sidewalks and pavilion on Wednesday's and Saturday's from 9-3pm for our loyal historic farmers market vendors that we have grown to love and support.

Please consider signing our petition allowing the "newly organized" DBOA the potential rights to speak for the Historic Farmers Market of Lapeer in attempt to persuade Lapeer County, as well as, the City of Lapeer to allow us to run our Farmer's Market instead of the current DBA - dissolving the city's current special event request in order to implement ours.

The courthouse lawn is the heart of Lapeer. Market days just aren't the same anywhere else. Bring them home!

Used to go there every Saturday morning. The new spot is just not convenient for anyone. Get it back to the square.

SO sick of the politics ruining a good thing. Just let the farmers work where they belong!
