Most Saturday mornings, either Mayor Hamilton, Deputy Mayor Don Griffin, or one of nineteen department heads will be at the Farmers’ Market to answer resident questions and discuss issues of interest in the city. From the arts to potholes – any city-related topic you are interested in is up for discussion. Mayor John Hamilton and Deputy Mayor Don Griffin will both be greeted at our first market of the season.
