We are writing to say thank you to the founders of the

Maple Valley Farmer’s Market. The market’s inaugural season closed (Oct. 11) with a successful Emergency Preparedness Fair co-event.

We have enjoyed the market throughout the season, with its selection of fresh fruit and vegetables, flowers, meats, seafood, crafts and products and yummy food items. We especially enjoy how we saw old friends and reminisced about past times. The market was truly the Saturday morning place to be. Thank you Victoria Jonas, Kim Emmons, Patty Davis, Cheryl Castagna, Mary Jane Glazer, Marie Lindblom, Richard Gradwohl and Debra Meade for your vision, leadership, dedication and commitment in making the Maple Valley Farmers’ Market a reality.

Our community is very fortunate to have folks like you.

City Councilman Noel and Charlene Gerken
