Can anyone tell us a little more about Mr. Sibley? The information from the petition sounds great, but how about some more detail? For example the petition says he “personally manages over 100 staff and volunteers annually” Tell us more, where does he do this?
The same applies to the client base and fund-raising, in what capacity?
Sounds like a great guy just looking for a little more info before signing the petition.
I agree, having some more information would be handy. Being a resident of the area, I think it would be great to have a flourishing craft and produce market locally, and for great things to occur, most of the time a good form of management needs to be supporting it.
Thanks for the information. I am off to sign the petition…
Where did Scott’s answer go? It was up here yesterday.
I accidentally deleted it while cleaning up a bunch of spammy comments. If you know him, could you please ask him to put it back up?
Message from Scott Sibley
(Section post from endorsement request statement, April 2008)
“I am writing to request your support in reaching my goal of attaining the position of the 17th Street Farmers Market Manager. Near the end of the 2007 market season, I had the opportunity to meet with many vendors and neighbors of the market. You, the community have shown a true passion for the success of the market. I share that passion with you all!
Being a resident of North 17th Street, I have an unmatched interest in the success of the market. I look out my window every morning and imagine how wonderful the market would be if it were bustling with visitors from the city and surrounding area. Through history the market was a place to buy, sell, and socialize. This ever important block has sat dormant long enough. Its time for a change! This historic Richmond market is one of the oldest markets in the nation, dating prior to 1737. Through history it has seen great success offering trade of every sort. The market’s historical significance is never ending.
Being born and raised in Louisa County, Virginia, I know how important the local farmer is to his community. Prior work with 4H, FFA, Virginia Tech Corporative Extension, and spending summers working on farms in the area has given me complete understanding of that important relationship. Combine this upbringing with over ten years experience in event management, marketing and fund raising in the District of Columbia metropolitan area, along with support of current staff and the community, we can bring a promising future to the market.”
Recently I took on the role of Chairman of the Richmond Farmers Market Advancement Association. This not for profit business is designed to supplement the fund raising efforts of the 17th Street Market and has hopes of reaching out to all the markets in the future.
If you have any other questions or concerns, please email me directly at richmondfmaa@gmail.com
Thank you for your time and support.

Many of you have asked if the donation is needed to sign the petition.
YOU DO NOT NEED TO DONATE TO SIGN.
THE DONATIONS ARE NOT FOR MY CAUSE, OR FOR THE MARKET.
I do not know what the donations are used for though I assume it is only for the site.
