A MESSAGE FROM MAXINE DAVENPORT REGARDING HOMEGROWN AUTHORS’ TABLE AT FARMERS MARKET

Sales at the Homegrown Authors’ table on Tuesdays at the Farmers Market have been very slow this summer. Most new authors from NMBA have not been able to cover the higher costs the Market charges us for a space. That  discourages attendance, and we have had to rely on old timers, many of whom are also not meeting their costs. With several of them on vacation, the reduced attendance brought me to the decision to limit our space to only one table for the rest of the summer.  Roberta Parry will join me at the table. This will allow us to keep our improved site alive until next year when, perhaps, the market will revive and we can expand again. I apologize to all the new authors who were looking forward to joining us and encourage them to watch for the reopening next spring.
