It’s one thing to steal video lottery revenue from Sioux Falls, now Grand Falls is stealing farmers;
The market will be held Sundays in the Grand Falls parking lot from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. The market will begin July 8 and continue through Aug. 26. There is no cost for vendors to host a space.
I wonder what affect this will have on the Farmer’s Market by Falls Park? Hmmmmmm.
Stormland-TV did have a story about it.

Does Sioux Falls have farmer’s markets on Sunday? It doesn’t seem like this would be much of a conflict, except for farmers who only want to go to one or the other. The opportunity to sell more produce each weekend might be viewed as a good thing for farmers trying to make a living.
I guess I really wasn’t thinking about that side of the issue, and I was being snarky with my comment, “now Grand Falls is stealing farmers”. I just found it interesting that they are not charging vendors, which I think is awesome! If vendors don’t have to pay a rental fee, they may charge less for their products. This is a win-win for the casino, because the little cost to them of putting up a vendor area is nothing compared to bringing in market shoppers to the casino.
Perhaps they could steal Triple M’s shut up and listen sessions too.
I agree that the no rental fee is awesome. It’s a brilliant casino kickback, which ultimately results in more money for the casino. It’s the free drinks of Sunday morning.
“Perhaps they could steal Triple M’s shut up and listen sessions too.”
I would love to see him doing one of those by a blackjack table. “Hey, we are here at the Grand Falls casino, not city hall, where we ACTUALLY gamble with your money.”
