A marketing plan was developed by one of our FM vendors and we are using it
to develop advertising and promotion for the market as a whole.  The problem
is that most members of market are not interested in being involved in
supporting promotions.  There was much crying and gnashing of teeth when the
fees were raised to support advertising.  Most people want to grow their
produce and bring it to the market.  They are contented to let others do the
promotional work.

Two questions for Del:

1.)  Has your market advertising and promotion improved customer
turnouts at market so far this year? (setting the rain aside);

2.)  Have those who cried and gnashed their teeth about increased
fees complained also about working harder if the customers counts
are higher?
