What does it take to run a community farmers market?

In this episode of ouR-TOWN, host Bill Robinson sits down with Reisterstown Farmers Market Manager Sam Kahan for a behind-the-scenes conversation about planning one of Reisterstown's favorite weekly events.

Sam shares how the market comes together each week, what goes into coordinating vendors and volunteers, launching new ideas, communicating with the community, and managing a growing market with more than 100 participating vendors throughout the season.

The conversation also explores what's new this year, the challenges and rewards of organizing large community events, and why the Reisterstown Farmers Market continues to be an important gathering place for the community.

Whether you're a regular market shopper, a vendor, or simply curious about what happens behind the scenes, this episode offers an inside look at the work that helps make the market a success.

In the debut episode of ouR-TOWN: Big Stories from a Small Street, host Bill Robinson sits down with local historian and community advocate Ken Camper to explore the history of St. Luke's United Methodist Church and its important place in Reisterstown's Black heritage.

From its founding and early congregation to the stories of faith, perseverance, and community that shaped generations, St. Luke's stands as a powerful reminder of the people and institutions that helped build Reisterstown. Ken shares insights into the church's legacy, the families connected to its history, and why preserving these stories remains important today.
