New farmer's market director promises same old tasty treats

URBANA – Lisa Bralts describes herself as a Market at the Square geek. Now she's more than that – she's the person in charge.

Bralts left her job earlier this year as director of marketing and development for the Eastern Illinois Foodbank to take a position with the city of Urbana as an economic development specialist and director of the Market at the Square. It runs from May 10 to Nov. 8 this year.
