The Old Town Hall Committee is considering using a portion of the historic building for a farmers market. Yes, indeed! The building is located on Main Street on the banks of the Sugar River in Sunapee Harbor village. Barbara Sullivan, Sunapee, is researching the potential for the town hall committee. Sullivan is talking with vendors and other market organizers in the area. (If interested contact: bsullivan@tds.net).
As now envisioned, the market would be in the center section of the building with direct access from the sidewalk. A farmer’s market would put to good use the unfinished space of the old livery building, Sullivan said. She thinks it could start small, with perhaps no more than 10 vendors, and operate July into October.
Dana Ramspott, Sunapee, a member of the Committee, is working with the town on the logistics. The committee goes before the planning board in May.
The Old Town Hall currently houses the Sunapee Thrift Shop, of great importance to the town. It will continue to operate in the town-owned building, but will be moving into a larger area (to the left), which previously housed the police department. Improvements to the area are underway.
Members of the OTHC are: Betsy Katz, chairman, Kevin Rickard, Mike Durfor, Jo Hill, Dana Ramspott, Betty Tatlock, Betsy Webb, Tony Bergeron, Ron Garceau and Ellie White.
