THE FUTURE
Historic Downtown Yankton hopes to improve upon this year's Market. We envision hosting educational classes for young and old, teaching students about proper nutrition and how to grow their own garden, creating our own Community Garden downtown or sharing in Yankton's current community garden, providing children with the opportunity to start making the Buy Fresh, Buy Local choice by providing a "green card" for them which will enable them to see how fresh, nutritious food affects them and how they can save money by buying locally. We would like to offer "Local" nights to patrons of downtown Yankton where everything served is grown or made in the community. All of these are ideas we would like to see in the future, but they take time and money as well as the consistency of terrific vendors in our downtown area. Please feel free to offer your ideas and comments on how we can improve our market by emailing us at yhrd@iw.net or calling us at 605-260-3003.
