Farmer's Market 2012Welcome to the Davison Farmers Market's 24th season!
What an exciting time of the year! I am happy to announce that I will be your new Market Master. I look forward to another great season! We've decided to move the market back to the Shopper's Alley location after asking the Downtown businesses and some vendors for their input. I'm looking to add new and exciting activities/events to this years market.
I am looking for vendors to sell home-grown and home-produced items, such as farm-fresh local produce, craft items, garden plants, organic fruits and vegetables, bakery goods and much, much more!
The Davison Farmer's Market is scheduled to be open every Friday from 9:30 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. beginning July 6th through September 14th. The market will be located in the parking lot at the base of East Second Street, just two blocks east of M-15 in Downtown Davison. You will need to provide your own coverings, tables and chairs. The cost for one space at the market will be $25.00 daily or $110.00 for the season.
As in the past, a theme will be set each week and local musical acts will entertain at each weeks market. The weekly Vendor's Market Basket drawing is a HUGE success! Vendors will be asked again every week to contribute towards the Gift Basket Drawing. The Farmer's Market Rules, an Agreement of Compliance Form, and a Reservation Form are available on the city website, www.cityofdavison.org. If you require forms be sent to you, please contact me. The Reservation Form and Agreement of Compliance Form, along with your check, need to be completed and returned to the City of Davison offices for you to be eligible to sell at the market. Please have your reservation in our office by June 29th before 4p.m. if you desire a seasonal rate.
If you have any questions regarding the Farmer's Market, please feel free to contact me by phone at 810-931-0483 or by e-mail at texdimi@yahoo.com. I look forward to seeing you at the 2012 Davison Farmer's Market!

Thank you to all who participated and completed and returned the surveys. In general, the respondents indicated a very high level of satisfaction with the area. I hope to conduct another survey in three-five years in order to see if things continue to be satisfactory.

| | Downtown DevelopmentsThe City of Davison was recently awarded a Facade Improvement grant from the Michigan State Housing Development Authority. The grant, similar to a grant received last year, is in the amount of $25,000 and is to be used for the removal of canopies in front of businesses in downtown Davison. The City will work closely with downtown property and business owners to ensure that this grant is another success story for downtown and the community in general.
While the City has not received any official paperwork outlining the specific terms of the grant, you can read the announcement letter and press release here.
Additionally, earlier this summer, the City was also designated as an Associate Main Street program (read the announcement). This program, a precursor to selection as a full-blown Main Street community, will offer training to representatives of the City and local businesses and other interested volunteers. The Main Street designation is coveted by communities throughout the State (as well as nationwide). The training opportunities will provide needed guidance and assistance on tools to improve downtown in a variety of ways: appearance, business, and promotion. If you are interested in serving as a Main Street volunteer, please contact a Downtown Development Authority member or City Hall.
The Community Development Department should be congratulated for its efforts to enhance downtown Davison. Keep up the good work!
