Seeking Help Starting a Sunday Farmers Market

Robin writes:

I live in Springfield and would like to start a large farmer’s market to run on Sundays. This would be of assistance to the many people in this area who observe the actual biblical Sabbath on Saturday when they are not to buy or sell. Most farmer’s markets are held on Saturday and many people miss out.

I am planning on getting permission from our aldermen to use the school grounds and provide restrooms. How would I go about starting this?

Blessings,
Robin
