Here we are, on our Park Blocks home - on public land, bringing Saturday Market into its 48th sea-son. We hold true to our Maker is the Seller value, creating a market-place where people from around the country come to buy skillfully and creatively crafted goods directly from the artist.

Important Fountain NewsBeginning April 8th, the City

will leave the fountain on at its low-

est setting on Saturday just to keep the water circulating. The water will just be trickling to the lower basin. City staff is now required to keep the fountain running 7 days per week to maintain the cleanliness of it and to keep the brand new LED lights installed functioning prop-erly. The fountain will not be bub-bling or spraying, it will be quiet and contained. If you set up around the fountain, you are required to keep the legs of your tent out of the foun-tain’s lower bowl (and everything out of the fountain). If you have any questions or concerns regarding the fountain, please talk to Kimberly.

Change to Outside Visa Sales

Over the winter, the Board elected to stop the practice of run-ning member visa transactions for sales made at other fairs and festi-vals, with the exception of the Or-egon Country Fair. This was based on a recommendation of the Budget Committee, considering the expense of running these transactions and the relative easy access to credit card services for individual members. OCF transactions will be charged a 6% handling fee, as before.

More UnclassifiedsI am liquidating my 14 year old plant and mush-room dyed silk scarf business. I would love to pass on my hand dyed silk scarf inventory (sell-ing very wholesale) to someone who might want to carry forward an amazing and successful natu-rally dyed fiber business. In addition to the lot of scarves, I have wool yarns (plant/mushroom dyed wool and wool/mohair blend), as well as specialty yarns like Noro, Lambs pride and many others. I am selling all yarns wholesale as well. Let’s make a deal! Best way to reach me is through email initially, m.banyacski@gmail.com. (4/1)
