Update as of Monday, November 16: The market is definitely not going forward. First Presbyterian refused to allow permission to use their parking lot. Please share this information with your neighbors and friends. I don’t want people to show up and be disappointed because there is no market. I did everything I could to make this market happen, but without a location, there can be no market.
————————————————
Bad news for all farmers market enthusiasts today. After two weeks of repeated expressions of enthusiasm from church staff, permission has been withdrawn abruptly to hold a farmers market next Saturday at the First Presbyterian parking lot. Barring a miracle over the weekend, the market has to be cancelled.
I’d like to make clear that the City of Evanston Health Department has been very supportive all along. They are impressive, thoughtful, and helpful. If you live in Evanston, be sure to thank them for all their work. They are not responsible for the cancellation.
Farmers still need your support. Some of the farmers who were to participate in this market will still come to Evanston to sell their products on the 21st. You can get more information by contacting them directly:

If you happen to have a spare miracle in your back pocket that you don’t need, would you send it my way? No?? Me, neither. See you at the markets in the spring.
