It has at least a little impact in tourism, too. The deciding factor in my
choosing to vacation this year in Wisconsin was getting to spend a Saturday
at the Dane County Farmers' Market. It was lots of fun -- and very
educational. Market manager Larry Johnson was most generous with his time
and knowledge, too.

The market has done surveys that document the economic impact of the market
(how many dollars patrons of the market also spend at other local
businesses) and this goes a long way in promoting political/civic support
for the market and PRIDE in the market (one of the largest in the country).
Somewhere around 20,000 people attend the market on an average Saturday
(assuming good weather) and each spends around $20 at the market.
