Let's all singPopcorn, peanuts and cotton candy
Pink lemonade that's dan-dan-dandy
Be a big shot for a dollar
It's carnival time.
Lyrics from the song.

Decatur City commissioners unanimously agreed on Monday, May 19 to a trial project allowing vending carts on the MARTA plaza near the city’s downtown square. Decatur Economic Development Director Lyn Menne told city commissioners that she has been approached on numerous occasions from residents who wanted to set up vending carts on the MARTA plaza.”
Residents have said they wanted to sell hotdogs and pre-packaged ice cream, Menne said. “We want to try for six months and see it how it goes.”
Menne said details on the price to rent space and times of operation still have to be worked out.
Commissioner Jim Baskett predicted a backlash from restaurants near the square.
“I am real skeptical of this,” he said. “But I’m willing to see how this works out.”
“They can’t sell anything that restaurants operating within the square sell,” Menne explained. “We hold the right to restrict time and dates of operation.”
