10 <br /> 10.The HFM will accept applications from any member of the Orange County Farmers Market who <br /> want to be a vendor with the HFM beginning with the 2009 season(There is no application fee). <br /> The Hillsborough Farmers'Market is a pioneer in the business of running a successful Farmers Market. We <br /> have done it since 1987 and expect to continue far into the future. Had a splinter group who acted against the clear <br /> decision of the HFM majority membership not caused controversy with the County and City governments this past <br /> year,the HFM would be currently using the Public Market House as was intended from the original Federal grant <br /> application." We would be operating free of County intervention,at no expense to the taxpayer and providing a <br /> vibrant market to the area and promoting downtown Hillsborough. <br /> We hope that you will give careful consideration to our very positive proposal to occupy the Public Market <br /> House under the HFM leadership already in place and with a proven track record of success. This solution will <br /> provide a vibrant market to those in the community who value fresh and locally grown products and say to the <br /> downtown merchants that we care enough to have one market located in the heart of Hillsborough. Also,having <br /> one group will say to the farmers in this community that we care about you—all of you—small producers and large <br /> producers alike. <br /> We look forward to your response. We will continue to work to relocate our market so we can continue to <br /> serve those citizens who we value and who value what our members have to offer. Please feel free to contact any <br /> member of the Leadership Committee(LC). Thank you. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Beverly A.Blythe[SignatureJ-LC Susanne M Vergara[Signature] <br /> Rex H.
