Note to the community...
Dear friends,
It is with deep sadness that I need to inform you of my decision to resign as the volunteer coordinator of the Main Street Market for the City of York, effective immediately.
The fact that I will no longer be involved does not affect the existence of the market, it merely means that I no longer will be the contact person or "go to" person. Please contact the City Manager, Charles Helms with any questions, concerns, or market matters.
It has truly been a pleasure working with all of you, getting to know you, and support you these past 4 years. It has however, been a growing challenge and a very unpleasant one this past year in working with the City to get them to see the potential their own market has and what an impact it could have on the community, if they would only invest the time and money in it that it needs and that it and you deserve. It simply is a battle I no longer care to fight. The enjoyment is gone.
I wish you all well and ask you to continue to participate with a market and be involved in this wonderful community. You will see me at the market occasionally, as I have every intention of continuing to support you. I still need tomatoes, eggs, honey, and all the other wonderful items you so lovingly and faithfully share.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or need anything, at any time.
Yours truly,
Signa Curry

Only the name has changed!
A new season , a new name, and new ideas!
I can't begin to tell you how many times since we opened the Market that I've heard it referred to as "the Market on Main St" and to be honest there often wasn't enough spaces on a form to write York Downtown Farmers Market, so after some thought and discussion it was a pretty easy decision to change the Market name to one that not only made sense but was easily recognizable...The MAIN STREET MARKET! And already I'm so glad we did.
As I look at the calendar and feel the temps outside getting warmer and the grass getting greener, I realize that we're only 2 months away from Opening Day of our 4th season. This is always an exciting and fun time of year. And especially this year we'll have some visible changes and improvements to share and offer. The canopy on the Market lot has been given a face lift just yesterday and a new sign has been ordered. Fall 2011 will bring some construction work on the lot which will mark the beginning phase of creating the Market Park directly behind the lot, which will be a project in conjunction with the Downtown Business Association.
So stay tuned for more info and get those gardens planned and planted and your art work ready to share, and join us on May 14th for Opening Day!
