Reaching this point has been exhausting but seeing this level of support reminds me why I started this fight. We have momentum now and that keeps me going even when the meetings feel endless.

really hope they reconsider the fees. i love walking down there on weekends.
Ridiculous that the county wants to price out small vendors like this. Leave it alone.
My kids love the artists here, it would be a huge loss for downtown silver spring.
Fenton street is where i get all my gifts. DONT SHUT IT DOWN.
This market is the best part of my Saturday. Please dont let it close!!
