St. George will consider scrapping the city’s sponsorship of the Downtown Farmers Market, once again after furor over a drag event.

The St. George Downtown Farmers Market in August 2022.Members of the municipal council are meeting this afternoon to consider scrapping the city’s sponsorship of the Downtown Farmers Market.

The storefront of Mofaco in St. George. After drag performers operated a booth at the store during holidaytime, members of the municipal council are meeting this afternoon to consider scrapping the city's sponsorship of Downtown Farmers Market, which is also run by the store owners. She added the waivers her market receives are the same or less than what other Utah cities grant to farmers markets in their municipalities and enables her to keep booth prices low for local farmers, startups, and artisans who otherwise couldn’t afford to sell their wares.

Contrary to assertions made on social media, Puzey said ads for the booth were confined to Mofaco’s Facebook page and newsletter and were not put on the Downtown Farmers Market Facebook page or in printed ads organizers handed out. At Farmers Market events in December, Puzey and Tiller said, members of Your Health Freedom Dixie began protesting and disrupting the market, accusing organizers of discrimination.

Since buying the farmers market, its size has nearly doubled, going from about 30 vendors in Ancestor Square in St. George, where the event used to take place, to more than 100 vendors on a good weekend at Vernon Worthen.

So, looks the conservatives were the real snowflakes all along…

Councilwoman needs to get a life! 🍹

Does St. G city council ever concern themselves with real problems, such as population growth and water shortages, or is it only drag queens now that they’ve lost the battle to keep their racist university name?

Good gravy, these prissy, pearly clutching maroons shouldn't be reading the Bible if a couple drag elves scare them

Two words: “Michelle” “Tanner”

As a child, I recall seeing Milton Berle perform in drag. The therapy I needed for the next 60 years later is almost complete.🙄 This fear mongering is absolutely ridiculous. Perhaps those concerned have energy that’d be better spent rooting out pedophiles from their churches?

“We just want to get married”

This is ridiculous. The fear of these people is totally unnecessary.

St. George allows polygamist child rapists to live peacefully just down the road but throw tantrums over adult males wearing make/up. What a bunch of sickos.

St George is becoming a real haven for hate and bigotry. If only they'd stop drinking water....
