The Mahtomedi City Council at its April 20 meeting approved a request from Heather LaValle-Tumbleson on behalf of the Mahtomedi Area Farmers Market, for an interim use permit to hold a farmers market in the city-owned portion of Veterans Park at 93 Mahtomedi Ave.
The five-year IUP is but a formality, but a necessary one.
All food and flowers will be grown by the person selling them at market, and all crafts will be designed and made by the person displaying these items. The market will also include musicians who will be required to comply with the city noise ordinance.
“I’m so overjoyed that we’re doing this and it’s coming back,” said Council Member Jane Schneeweis.
The parade will make only left turns from that point, starting with its first on Hickory Street, then onto Warner Avenue and over Stillwater Road, left on 72nd Street, and left on Hallam Avenue before finishing at the Mahtomedi Fire Station.
