KALAMAZOO, MI -- Upon arriving at the Kalamazoo Farmers Market Tuesday morning, market manager Gaby Gerken found a broken table among several others overturned in addition to dumped-over flower pots.

Another market employee arrived about 4 a.m. Sept. 19 at the market at 1204 Bank St. and found the acts of vandalism, Gerken said.

She said an event happened yesterday evening at the market and the vandalism must have happened sometime overnight.

Joanie Robinson of Kalamazoo, a business owner who sells at the farmers market, said she found broken glass on the table she uses to sell her merchandise.

Gerken said vandalism has happened before at the market. While each act is frustrating and disrespectful, said the most recent was, "a bit much this time."

"I think people don't care about the area but this is a storefront for 125 small businesses," Gerken said.

Robinson said the market has always been a nice, quiet place for people to shop and socialize.

Someone else called Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety to inform them of the issue, Gerken said. A police report was filed and Gerken said she was told to alert officers of any future issues.

Gerken shared the news of the vandalism earlier this morning on the market's Facebook page and so far, the post has garnered more than 250 shares.

According to an update on the Facebook page, the market has received several offers to replace the damaged tables.
