Kerr County Commissioners Court
Ken- County Courthouse
700 Main
Kerrville, Texas 78028
Dear Judge Tinley,
The Market Days Usage License agreement for 2007 will terminate on December 31 and it is our
request that a new contract be approved for 2008. This year has been very successful, including the
two changes initiated -the March start-up date and the two-day Memorial Day Market.
With the fourth Saturday in March as our Opening Day we get a good start on the gardening
especially for all types of plants, both vegetable
season and this year had a great vendor turnout, '1
and ornamental. The two-day Memorial Day Market was extremely successful and was coordinated
so as to avoid any conflict with other Memorial Day Observance Ceremonies. We also worked with
the Sheriffs Office to hire off duty deputies to provide overnight security; Warrant Sergeant Behrens
and Deputy Schultz were extremely helpful in arranging security and provided outstanding service.
As a brief overview of the 2007 season, we have accepted 185 vendor applications to date, an
approximate 9% increase over 2006. We also continue to have good participation from local
non-profit organizations, including K'Star, Freeman-Fritts Animal Welfare Society, Cailloux Humane
Society, Hill Country Master Gardeners, several church groups and a Giri Scout Troop.
We maintain strict adherence to our original criteria for truly original and unique products and
believe this standard continues to enhance the reputation of Market Days. As in past years, our
local customer base remains strong and we find we have more and more visitors from across the
state and beyond. Our commitment is long term and our goal is to always conduct an event which
benefits our community and enhances the image of Kerr County as a tourist destination. Based on
the successes of 2007, we request the 2008 Usage License be implemented with no changes.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions and I will be available to present our
proposal to Commissioners Court at the November 13 meeting.
Sincerely,
nn Anderson
President
