Farmers Market Week and Beyond!

The farmers market went absolultely great! We had a lot of people (students, faculty, and community) participate and help support these local farmers! I was very suprised to have as many participants in the survery as we did, and a few students even recognized me from speaking to their classes. I would like to thank everyone else in class for doing a tremendous job on this project, and Reconnect for hosting it. I gave 4 presentations the week before the farmers market (2 to Mr. Chauvin's history classes and 2 to Dr. Kleiner's sociology classes). All four went very well, and I am excited to get to see the total number of signatures we recieved.

I have counted the survey, and here are the results (they are going to be very suprising!)...
