Ms. Wagner-Harkonen and Ms. Palm will be <br />attending the June 1, 2009 City Council Work Session to ask the City Council if they are <br />willing to support the formation of a Farmer's Market Exploratory Committee. <br /> <br />This potential committee may eventually ask the City Council to sponsor a Farmer's <br />Market through a contract with the City of Shoreview's Farmer's Market manager, <br />Lesley Young.
