 Congratulations on the inaugural festive opening of the Thursday Nights Market Place event on Franklin St not far from the Warner Theatre on Main St! After ushering at the Theatre(and The Sharon Playhouse in CT) for many years, I have gotten to know a few local faces (including my rather large family on my mom's Coury side who lived there for decades) and it's a great feeling to see the greater show we're all part of when people can mingle and enjoy a summer evening with some inspiration, good food available from baked goods to hot dishes, fresh produce, crafts, jazzy items and live music.

Originally thinking this out on Facebook but likely it did not post, so I copied and pasted..Sometimes a virus of sorts makes the post repeat, so I tried to edit and hope I did not cut out too much (hardly possible yet there are a ton of points to consider since the days of the 1980s when I started thinking about these topics, which was when 'coming out of the closet' was a big deal as was AIDS..and in vitro was a vague idea whereas now it will be more affordable to people as is the Plan B pill.

The gift of applying for help whether for food stamps, jobs, health insurance even through one's state or federal programs, or for scholarships is one that can take a few people to open. The fine print and important details and deadlines can be more of a deterrent if not deal-breaker (as in NOT getting what one either is Qualified for, needing or wanting). What a drag!
