‘CPAs’ Make Parking a Breeze at the Market

June 18, 2015 by lgeogheg

Sometimes they have on neon vests so they can be easily seen.  Most times they are carrying walkie-talkies (or even standing on a box) so they can stay aware of how many spaces are available. About 20 volunteers rotate throughout the market season to greet the market patrons and help them find the ‘perfect’ parking spot each week.  This dedicated, friendly group of people are affectionately referred to as CPAs – Certified Parking Attendants.  Next time you see them, flash a smile or give an appreciative wave.

Pedal Power Project

August 9, 2013 by lgeogheg

We’ll be raffling off 3 ‘almost new’ bicycles at the market, on Saturday, August 10.  These bikes are really beautiful.  Tickets will cost $5 each.  When we have sold 100 tickets we’ll close the raffle.

All the money will go to buy bicycle parts like tubes, tires, brakes, etc. for the Pedal Power Project – a very worthwhile project which rehabs used bikes which are given to refugee families.

Please click here to see the recent article in the Neighborhood section of the Courier-Journal about the Pedal Power Project.  Bob Callander, the founder of the St. Matthews Farmers Market, is the chairman of the Pedal Power Project.
