KERR COUNTY MARKET ASSOCIATION PO Box 290163 830 -895 -7962 Kerrville, Texas 78029 -0163 fax 830 - 895 -7524 October 25, 2010 Pat Tinley County Judge 700 Main Kerrville, Texas 78028 Dear Judge Tinley, It is time to once again request approval to conduct Kerr County Market Days at the Courthouse. For 2011, we do not anticipate any changes but rather reaffirm our commitment to the original vision of an old fashioned "market on the square." We will always vigilantly enforce the homemade, homegrown standards for Market Days, always striving to raise the quality of products offered to customers, and we will always respect the privilege of using the Courthouse grounds. If approval for the 2011 season is granted, it will be our 10 season. We now average approximately 86 vendors per Market with the May, November and December Markets reaching maximum participation at about 100 vendors. Non -profit organizations continue to have a significant role at every Market with 16 different groups participating so far in 2010, including several new groups such as the Hunt Garden Club and the Salvation Army. For 2011, we hope to add more special attractions such as musical performances, craft demonstrations, and auto and motorcycle shows. These are in addition to coordinating with KDBA to plan simultaneous events for the mutual benefit of the Market and our downtown restaurants and retail businesses. It is hoped these additions will keep the Market an interesting and fun activity for all our local customers and that these efforts plus expanded advertising will attract more and more out -of -town visitors. As always, I welcome your advice and comments and I am available to discuss these matters at your convenience. Sincerely, Anderson �� xecutive Director Attachment www.kemnarIcetdays.org KERR COUNTY MARKET DAYS 2011 SCHEDULE March 26 April 23 May 28 -29 June 25 July 23 August 27 September 24 October 22 November 25 -26 December 17
