Selectmen Discuss Farmers' Market Proposals Tonight

After months of arguing and weeks of petitioning, the Board of Selectmen will decide whether to accept the highest bid to the running of a farmers' market  at Stephens' Field and the 1820 Courthouse Green. The board could also elect to not accept any of the bids.

Three bids were opened last Thursday:

• Christine Pratt and Kim McDonough, listed as directors of the nonprofit , bid $4,500 for Stephens Field and $500 for the Courthouse Green for the 2012 and 2013 seasons.
• Marie Foley of Lovin' Spoonfuls bid $1,628 for Stephens Field for the 2012 and 2013 seasons, but didn't bid on the Courthouse Green.
• , who has run the Plymouth Farmers' Market for the past eight years, bid $1 per market location and a $500 donation for the upkeep of the sites for both seasons.
