Re: Windscreen for Center Recreation Complex (C 1)
Attached is the Art Work for tlwe outfield windscreen that Lexington Babe RLIth, Lexington Blue
Sox, and LHS baseball boosters propose
All three groups are local not for profit groups. We do not charge admission and there is no
commercial or economic benefit or component of any of the three groups.
I am the founder and President of both Lexington Babe Ruth and Lexington Blue Sox and remain
an active leader of both
The Windscreen will be paid for entirely by those three groups and no funds or work will be
requested from the Town
NO ADVERTISING (other than the logos of the 3 Local Lexington Groups) will be on the
Windscreen.
i
The Windscreen will be put Lip in the spring, taken down in August when baseball ends at Center
1 and will be maintained by the groups under my supervision without the necessity of Town
funds or manpower

2. Banner(s):
• Change of location from Fletcher Park to Worthen Road Practice Field
requires clear signage throughout the season
• per discussions, we cannot leave sandwich board on practice field or
sidewalk Pp
• Suggestion following discussion with DPW:. hang banner on back fence
abutting football field facing Worthen Road
• Distance is approximately 220-250 feet from 'Worthen Road and sidewalk,
so banner would be challenging to read from a distance
• Request that LFM be allowed to hang two banners either side by side or
one of top of the other due to the amount of information to be read (see
examples below)
• Request that we be allowed to leave the banners up all season, particularly
in the first year of the market, LFM sandwich board was up at Fletcher
Park from end of May-end of October (market season)
• Consistent signage is the primary way that people remember market day
and site.
• Banner dimensions: 8 ft x 3.5 feet (note that each fence section is 10 feet)
Single Banner with all information
Banner 8x3.5 with Food assistance Lo os. df
Two Banners with information
Qouble Banner 8x3 with Food Assistance Lo os. df
3. Alcohol Use Policy
• As permitted by the Town of Lexington and the Mass. Department of
Agricultural Resources, the LFM requests a continuation of the Alcohol
Sales policy during the weekly farmers' market.
• In 2021, there will be only one vendor selling mead (honey wine) and hard
cider.
• No consumption on site (no sampling due to COVID safety protocols and
BOH regulations) and no sales to anyone under 21 years old.
