Hi all --

I seem to be involved with a group trying to start up a new farmers' 
market.

While we have people in the group with a lot of market experience, we 
don't have anybody who's ever done the manager's job. I volunteered to 
collect information needed to write up a job description for the market 
manager; and also to write up some proposed market rules, for purposes 
of discussion.

Can anybody help me with samples of such things, ideally from a market 
of similar size? This will be a small market (my guess is 6 to 10 
vendors, to start with) in a small village (population is a couple of 
thousand, but there's a good deal of traffic coming through town from 
other places). We will definitely be local - only, and expect to invite 
as vendors local bakers and craftspeople as well as farmers.

Thanks --
