Who's up for a challenge?

What do these items mean to you? I want to know.

Shockoe Bottom. River District. Buy Local. 17th Street Farmers Market.

Are you a leader or a follower? Are you willing to stand up to protect a gem that has been slandered by the public voice for many seasons? Are you willing to protect this asset which sets itself apart from any other market in the community purely because of its style and history?

It takes a very strong person to be a leader and an even stronger person to stand up when they are the only one on their feet. Are you a leader? A leader will not be foiled by those who do not stand with them. A follower will let "everyone else" do the talking.

We are leaders and dare anyone to cross us in the goal of getting positive attention to the 17th Street Farmers Market. This is our market. This is Shockoe Bottoms market. This is YOUR market. Stand up with me to protect it or sit down and stay quiet.

What do you like about this market? One thing? One hundred things? What makes you want to come to the 17th Street Farmers Market it Shockoe Bottom?

Tell me.

It's hard to get to the market on a work day when you have a day job.

Some of my retired friends canwbd get there, but I, and a lot of others can't.
