They were my favorite too when I lived there in the late '80s. But they were always spot on. No beans, no rice. Fabulous meat. Excellent cookies. Do they still sell the caramel sandwich cookies?
Great news, Kate. Definitely keep your mind on the ones in process. A little overlap is fine, but not 10 tickets worth. Maybe when you know it all like the back of your hand, but not for a goodly while. Good to hear your managers agree with us all!
I think the dept of agriculture would LOVE to speak to you about starting one up. You can also google other farmer's markets in Texas and call some other organizers. They are usually totally helpful in the cause.
