It looks like Lucknow will be trying out a farmer's market this summer. The Lucknow Sentinel reported that the town's Business Association agreed to let the Lucknow Agricultural Society organize a market for the sale of local produce and crafts. The market will be set up on property by the sales barn. Six members of the business association were opposed to the idea of a market initially while 14 were in favour. Those opposed felt that because of the market, local food stores and the bakery would suffer. The grocery stores and the bakery however, told the association • that they did not fear their businesses would be affected. Local gardens produce so many vegetables in the summer that the grocery stores do not sell much produce. The market will only sell locally grown fruits.

Huron's Warden Gerry Ginn who came to council with the request explained that it would be simpler to anyone in Huron to live in OHC housing anywhere in the county rather than the present elaborate agreements between municipalities. Council told Warden Ginn that they had not agreed to the scheme because they had been unable to get in- formation from the Huron Housing authority, which runs the housing. Other councillors wanted some assurance that their seniors wouldn't be "bum- ped" by other county residents.
