It should make market night better. They have lost a lot of vendors over the years and maybe some will come back with fewer nights and another venue. The three nights in three squares should bring more people as the two nights each in two squares probably tended to divide the interest. Adding Brownwood should also bring more people in.

No vendor does 3 nights. Only 2 and they tell you which 2 you have. It is nice getting Paddock Square in the mix.

Why would a vendor only do two nights?

No vendor can do more than 2 nights because The Villages new policy will not allow it. Some established vendors got assigned 2 nights but many are assigned to only one night. You probably won't see many new vendors unless a vacancy becomes available or a business is sold to a new face and then they will probably be at only 1 square of The Villages choosing even if the previous owner was at 2 squares.

Like the new schedule. Two night per week at both SS and LSL were overkill. Glad to see Brownwood get a Market Night and have the other two town squares down to one night per week. That makes perfect sense to me. Just wishing they still had the farmers market once per week at one of the northern town squares.

Market night started in Brownwood First week of October, on Thursdays. Must have been successful to continue. We went the first night, some new booths and of course the daily sun booth
