05:21 - HISTORY IN CEILINGS GROVE IT

05:23 - STARTED AT ONE TIME AS A

05:24 - PEDDLERS MARKET WHERE FARMERS

05:25 - NEEDED A PERMIT THE COST $0.15

05:28 - IN ORDER TO OPERATE.

05:29 - IT ALSO OPERATED OUTSIDE OF THE

05:31 - NEIGHBORING BANK

05:32 - WHERE THE SIDEWALKS ARE WIDER

05:34 - AND ALLOWED FARMERS MORE ACCESS

05:35 - AND SPACE IN ORDER TO DO SO

05:38 - APPROPRIATELY NAMED AT THE TIME

05:39 - WHAT IS NOW THE FIRST NATIONAL

05:41 - BANK IT WAS ALSO CALLED THE

06:11 - THAT ALLOWED US MORE ACCESS TO

06:12 - RESOURCES AND OVERSIGHT.

06:16 - WORKING COMMITTEE WHICH

06:17 - OPERATES NOW AND IS MADE UP OF

06:19 - VENDORS VOLUNTEERS AND
