Our group oral history project continues to make progress. Yesterday, I contacted Sarah Kirby from the Kirby Brothers Store. This is what I wrote:
Hi, I'm a long-time Medford resident and student at Rowan University. My research group is looking to record an "oral history" on a food-related topic. Our goal is to produce a documentary-style informative video about starting a farmers market. Since you are starting a whole new market, we would love to discuss this with you. We would only need an hour of your time to conduct an informal on-camera interview. We're looking to do this in the next week. We'll be publishing our research online, so it could even have the incidental effect of promoting your business. Let me know if this is something you would be interested in doing or if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Michael Youngkin
She promptly agreed to do the interview and we scheduled it for 6pm this Thursday! I also contacted a friend who studied film in college to see if he would be interested in helping us shoot the video. He has a really nice digital video SLR. We'll see about that.
And finally, this article was posted yesterday on the website of the local paper, The Central Record. It has basic information about the farm market, which isn't opening until May 20, outside the scope of our research. But we will have plenty to cover on the preparation before opening.
