Lakewood Farmers Market/hopefully my check is in the mail!

I think if the City of Lakewood were to pay me a consulting fee for all of my hard work on their farmers market I would feel better about the situation.  Since I was lead down the path into thinking I would be helping with the farmers market and that was not a true statement! I should be paid for my time and effort in helping them get the market going! I also believe that my artist friend who produced such a lovely poster for the market because I asked him to, should be comp. for his art work!  The other person asked to produce a poster wanted 20 thousand dollars for his work.  My artist you paid $250.  thinking we were part of a team, we went all out, spending our time and effort to start the market.  Once the market was up and running you were done with us! So my consulting fee statement is in the mail. Do some research on this subject! Vance Corum a farmers market consultant charges $20 thousand for such work! So I hope my check is in the mail! I have saved all of my e-mails from the city of lakewood and plan on showing them to my attorney!
