Daily booths of fresh fruits and veggies, homemade jewelry and crafts, candles, lotions, wines and tastings, ect. It would be like an everlasting Farmers Market/ Festival Area. This would draw people from the South up as well, I think. Opinions???
One thing you will find in TV is you have no idea income level for many residents. That what is great about TV, nobody asks you what kind of house you live in, they ask what village do you live in and where are you from? Kind of a slap to say that a certain area seems to be on a slightly lower income level, without knowing them personally. Would you be surprised that there are more than one RR, that comes from SS area?

Residents already have a farmers market, in Brownwood that only one business sells out every Saturday, and that’s the French Master Baker. All of the tents at farmers markets, may do one or two days in different places, but the other 5 days they are working, to bring their products or produce to market. So NO a daily market wouldn’t have enough vendors.
There are already wine/beer/ chili ticketed events, at SS. Without the ticket events it would just be a bunch of people looking for free anything, that would produce very little sales.
