After two and a half hours (and a previous meeting postponement) at the Nevada City City Council meeting, we got a unanimous “Aye” vote for a Resolution to close Union Street in downtown Nevada City for the 18 Saturdays between June 28 and October 25! Yay!

The event will be under the umbrella of the Nevada City Downtown Association (of which I’m Vice-Chair).

The last two places that I called home: Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo both had fantastic markets that involved at least 4 or 5 streets in the middle of downtown being dedicated to vendors, residents, and visitors having a great time.

It shall be a feat of many people’s efforts (and organization, of course!) to pull off the first one in 2 months time. I’ll be speaking up in favor of planning, structure, planning, and more planning at our weekly meetings until then.

More to come soon, I’m sure.
