Too much success can have a way of backfiring. Such, it seems, is the case of the popular Kailua Town Farmers Market, which will be moving, temporarily, to the Pali Lanes parking lot after being asked to vacate Kailua Elementary School’s lot after six-plus years.

The market has grown over the years to about 1,500 visitors from 1,000. That growth, apparently, also increased wear and tear to the school’s bathrooms and grass areas, as well as weekly cleanup of oil spills, chalk and paint markings at the parking lot. The weekly market will be at its new site starting Sunday, through year’s end. After that, stay tuned.
