Flea Market - Discussion in the Town Square
Posted: Tue Feb 10, 2015 6:09 pm
As the townscreatures came to the town square nearly every day, Calysta thought this would be a fine place to host a discussion on the Flea Market. They had just had a straw poll on the matter, but she received feedback that made her realize that the straw poll didn't cover everything.
"Good Afternoon!" Calysta said loudly trying to gather creatures' attention.
"After receiving a letter about the flea market, I decided everyone should discuss things further. If you are interested, please come over and join us for the discussion.
"As mentioned in the last mail I sent, here are the results of the poll:
Poll Question: How often should we hold the flea market? (Ends Feb 05, 1655 at 11:52 am)
Results: (Total Votes: 15)
More than once a month (26.67%)
Once a month (60%)
Every other month (6.67%)
Twice yearly (6.67%)
"Since people voted once a month, I was going to do it both Saturday and Sunday on the last weekend of the month; however, there is concern that it'd be difficult to remember.
"Other suggestions include having a set date for the flea market, such as the 15th of every month or having the market open for an entire week.
"I received some questions also about the cost to run the flea market. Each day it is opened costs 5 freznics. Each transaction gives the town 0.10 fr towards cost. At that amount, there would need to be 50 items sold a day to make up for the cost, but since the cost is so little, I am not very concerned about 10 freznics a month -if ran for one weekend-, as the Town Hall can easily cover that.
"I look forward to everyone's input. If necessary, we can have another poll, but for now, let's discuss to get an idea of what options people favor.
"Thank you!"
