In Carrboro, NC we hold our market every Sat. from late March until late
Dec. (about 42 weeks) and every Wed. from early April to the end of Oct.
(About 28 weeks) on town owned property. We have 2/3 of our vendors under
cover and the rest out in the open for a total of 80 spaces. We pay $2000
dollars a year to the Town. This is the same amount that was charged in the
early 90's when we were located on a private parking lot. The Town paid that
fee at the time. The current site including shelters was built with state
money in one of those pork barrel acts.
