Tourists expect the event to be happening until 5. Even though your booth is your individual store, because you are a member of the Market, your store hours are 10 -5. Take advan- tage of your business hours, keep our customers happy, stay open until 5. Your Market thanks you!

MARKETPLACE • COMMUNITY • CELEBRATION
From BethAll through your past, probably
as early as you can remember, you were making things. You were draw-ing, painting, forming, connecting, cutting and cooking. You saw things in color, moved items into a design, and brought elements together. It was who you were and who you are. You are a creative, an artist, a thinker and an inventor. Artists critique and reflect society. Creators make a state-ment from the simplest of raw ma-terials and generate value from the most basic components. That is why you have come here.
Your choice to sell at the Eugene Saturday Market is an extension of that drive. Not because it is easy. Not only for the money. But rather be-cause we are a place where your ar-tistic expression is appreciated. Your ability is a gift to us and it is the in-tention of our community to hear your voice.
Have a lovely Saturday.~Beth
