And whereas the Milwaukee farmers market is celebrating 27 years as a cornerstone in our community well loved by customers and vendors who come from Milwaukee and far beyond.

Now therefore I Lisa Beatty mayor of the city of Milwaukee a municipal corporation in the county of Clackamas in the state of Oregon with the consent of the city council do hereby proclaim the week of August 3rd through 9th as farmers market week and do call upon all Milwaukeeans to celebrate and support the Milwaukee farmers market and other farmers markets other area farmers markets.

And I will say it I mean everybody loves the farmers market we I just just last night I was at or just yesterday I was at a meeting and um people were talking about how to reach people and I said the best way to reach people is to try and get a booth at the farmers market is a great way to get people from across the community and um and I especially appreciate the SNAP benefits in this time when food insecurity is kind of on the rise and some of those benefits are harder for people to get so it's really important that the that that's still available at the farmers market.
