Merchants reap benefits
of Saturday Market move
By Dave Brown
Ol th# EmaraM
The first Saturday Market "in
the park” filled the new location
with shoppers and craftsper
sons Saturday, something that
hasn't happened too much
recently, says manager Howard
Wade
About 120 craftspersons —
roughly 20 percent more than
during the previous week — set
up booths Saturday to sell their
wares in the two fountain parks
on either side of Oak Street
downtown. Despite rain, more
than twice as many customers
as usual were strolling about a
panorama of hand-crafted
goods, musical entertainment
and snack stands
"It's been busy — real busy,"
Wade says Parking lots are for
cars, parks are for people, he
adds
Friends and affiliates contin
ually congratulated Wade while
he attended the market infor
mation booth Saturday after
noon "Isn’t this hot?” he often
answered
The scene in the parks was
quite a difference from scenes
in the parking lot the market has
been calling home for the past
10 years
The parking lot could accom
modate 250 booths, he says, but
1976 was the last year there was
an excess of merchants regis
tering to rent space
And business started down
hill, gathering momentum about
the middle of last year, Wade
says "It's been scary for a
while,” he says.
Last Christmas didn't help
economically either Rainy
weather discouraged shoppers
which in turn made some crafts
persons decide not to set up
booths
The non-profit corporation
began losing money In April,
most of the market's equipment
including a performance stage,
an information booth, outdoor
furniture and promotion sup
plies was burned Damages to
talled $10,000
No arsonist was caught, but it
was unquestionably a set fire,
Wade says
Meanwhile the market’s
board of directors was spending
money on promotions in an at
tempt to combat declining
revenues
They attempted to attract
Hilton Hotel guests, and were
successful to some degree, he
says Nevertheless, market
revenues did not show much
improvement
By moving into the two foun
tain parks, the market's staff
and directors hope to put some
new business into the market
The colorful throng of shop
pers. merchants, entertainers
and refreshment stand opera
tors at the the park location
reflects more than the start of
the Christmas shopping season
or the promotion and excite
ment of the move, he says
The parks offer a much nicer
space to shop in, and connect
to the downtown shopping area
more directly Those driving by
can see the market panorama
The parking lot location was
slightly elevated and obscured
by buildings and trees
The move also signifies an
acceptance by the business
community and the city, Wade
says
Market directors first entered
a bid for use of the county
owned parks in 1971 following
its fledgling year under an
elevated parking lot in the
downtown mall Instead, Lane
County rented them an area on
the county's Public Service
Building steps The next year,
the market began renting the
parking lot on Oak Street from
the county at $80 per Saturday
However, the market's more
recent request for use of the
parks was backed by downtown
businesses and the county
At a Wednesday meeting, the
City Council provided the mar
ket with $18,000 to fund promo
tion of the move and transpor
tation of market equipment to
the new location
Lane County is renting the
parks to Saturday Market at $25
per day But the agreement is
only a prooanuriciry penuu iu
test for problem arising with
interruption of city services
Traffic or emergency vehicles
could clash with Saturday Mar
ket shoppers crossing Oak
Street from one park to the next
At the sound of a fire truck
leaving the nearby fire station,
Wade looks up from the infor
mation booth. "I'm worried
about it, " he says
He is concerned about a
group of people who have just
walked out in front of oncoming
traffic, ignoring numerous mar
ket signs asking that they cross
at the light
Suddenly, surprised at the
traffic they did not notice, they
jump back onto the sidewalk
"You don’t stop for cars in the
middle of Valley River Center
Why should you stop for them
here?" Wade asks
The market will continue on
Saturdays until Christmas
There will also be a special
Christmas market Dec 19-23
