This calendar stuff is a great idea - whatever is chosen as pictures. What
I'm wondering about is this: People buy calendars late in the year for the
next year. Our market is open when produce is available - mid-April through
October, and from mid-August on (when school starts), has much lower traffic
levels. When do you sell the calendar? Or, do you do a mid-year to
mid-year calendar?
