Some Small Business owners say the ames Farmers Market is hurting their business. They want it moved from main street and now the city council this coming tuesday. Kccis vanessa peng shows us why. Vanessa some brick and mortars on main street want the tents and booths gone from outside their windows this summer. Its like cutting me out of business for a month. Vanessa rick swank of swanks jewelry started a petition to have the ames main street Farmers Market moved. The market is held saturday mornings may through october. In the 300400 block of main street. Swank says for 26 saturdays, his customers cant find parking or an easy way to weave through the crowds. If somebody wants to come to my business, they cannot get here at all on saturday. Vanessa swank wrote a letter to the city council. The city council will take up the topic at their next tuesday meeting in march. Theres no foot traffic brought in to me. Theyre staying out there, theyre doing their market thing and thats where theyre at. Theyre not shopping. Vanessa just down the street from swanks at cooks emporium, theyre seeing the same problem. My business, which is normally saturday is our busiest day, is much less busy than it a very few people maybe wander in and then say oh, isnt that nice, and then theyll walk out. Vanessa other businesses say theyre happy for the jump in foot traffic. Nearly 80,000 people check out the Farmers Market a year. People will even if theyre just walking by, will look in the window just to see whats going on inside. It should stay, i think. I know there are some businesses that speak contrary but i think it lends something to the city of ames. I really cannot see any problem with it. Alyx according to the main street cultural district 11 of businesses they surveyed dont support the Farmers Market current location. Show jumping is in her blood and soon the entire world will know her story. How shes defying all odds to chase her dreams. I competed in my first horse show when i was 4yearsold, ive grown up with it, ive never known anything else. Genevieve has grown up on the horse farm. When we brought her home from into the house for her. A jumper for as long as she can remember, genevieve is heading to south florida to represent team usa in an International Show jumping competition. It was a very big deal. It was a long shot. Right now shes riding as the number one ranked 12yearold and shes ranked number three in the fei childrens ranking list, and only four riders are selected from the entire u. S. And thats all the girls who aspire to be show jumpers in this age group. Having just turned 12, she will be one of the youngest and her age class, guiding a 1500 pound animal over a wooden rail. You have to be able to trust your horse, that they will help you out when you really need it. For genevieve that trust has to go a little deeper than most. I dont have depth perception. Different and ive always just kind of done it. Some may call that a disadvantage. There are very few people that have that same problem not that same problem. Not genevieve. I think it forces me to have a better connection with the horse. Without being able to see how far away from a jump she is genevieve has to rely on other senses. I just feel what the horse is feeling and when they have options, maybe i could go deep or go long, i just, i find the right one. She counts off the distance between jumps before the competition. But once she is on the horse its all about her and her , horse. I do my very best to give them all i have. Alyx what a remarkable young lady. At 12yearsold genevieve is too young for rio at 2016. But she has her sight set on the olympics in 2024. Pictures sent in on my Facebook Page by sherry irons last week. A great week to be outside.
