Dogs will still be welcome at Farmer’s Market this year

Dog lovers can continue to love the Lawrence Farmers’ Market.

Tom Buller, market coordinator, said the organization’s board has decided to back away from a proposed policy that would ban dogs at the market.

“The vendors decided it was something they could manage,” Buller said. “There was a real significant voice from the community that they wanted to have the option of bringing their dogs to the market.”

Buller said the market instead will remind dog owners to keep their pets on a leash and be careful to keep the animals away from the food at the market.
