    Saturday Market
continued from page 1A
“The products (sold at the Mar
ket) are from the heart of the peo
ple who made them,” Colleen Bau
man said. “Its a personal
investment.”
Part of the.charm of the Holiday
Market is the unique gifts sold
there, many of which are sold at
both markets. Still said.
Sue Theolass, owner of Laven
der Moon, said she is most well
known for the organic catnip mice
she sells.
“People can come to the Holiday
Market looking for something for
Aunt Betsy and find something at
my booth or one of my neighbors
booths,” she said. “They find that
something and think, ‘Aunt Betsy
will love this."’
Theolass also pointed out that
the Holiday Market has a com
pletely different atmosphere than
its outdoor counterpart.
“Most vendors go all-out to
make things special (for the Holi
day Market),” she said. “Since we
can leave our booths set up, we
can put extra care into how they
look. Things are just more festive.”
Several vendors, including The
olass, said they see an increase in
profits during the holiday event.
“Last year’s Holiday Market was
tire best selling year I’ve ever had,”
said George C. Collingwood, own
er of Clayton’s Candies.
Collingwood is best known for
his fudge, a product he describes
as a “major impulse buy.” He said
he also enjoys the unique atmos
phere of the Holiday Market.
“The closeness and friendliness
ot vendors (is unique),” he said.
“You see very few grumpy people
— most are making more money
than ever.”
Anderson, owner of Judyjudy
Bags, said there is better business
at the Holiday Market because peo
ple feel more free to come than
they do to the normal Saturday
Market. She said she enjoys selling
at the market because of the atmos
phere.
“I love being able to socialize
with the customers at the market,”
Anderson said.

on which the country was founded,
hot with bombs.
“Don’t battle darkness with dark
ness, fight darkness with light,”
Karmadjieva said.
Tureeva, who is from Uzbekistan,
said it is important to understand
that a lot of the citizens in
Afghanistan are illiterate. She said
their inability to read the Quran, Is
lam’s holy text, makes it hard for
them to understand what the reli
gion is about.
Mohammad, who is from
Kuwait, agreed, saying the Taliban
preys on citizens’ illiteracy, distrib
uting inaccurate information about
the religion to justify the leaders’
actions.
“They can’t read the Quran, so
they have no way to know if what
(the Taliban) are telling them is
true,” he said. “And people believe
them.”

ArtWalk

Carol Cricow, a Eugene attorney
and author who is leading the writ
ers’ workshops, said she hopes
writers will get the information
about contracts so they can make
wise decisions.
“In order to get published, writ
ers are going to have to sign a con
tract,” she said. “Writers can’t sell
their work at Saturday Market.”
The panel discussion, “Whose
Domain: Creativity and the Inter
net,” will address artists’ rights and
the Internet.
Tomorrow’s events begin at 9
a.m. and take place at the law
school. Students can attend the
symposium for free, but the charge
is $10 for artists and arts adminis
trators and $25 for the general pub
lic. More information and registra
tion forms are available at
http://www.uoregon.edu/~artlaw.
Registration will be available at the
symposium.
Helen Schumacher and Kara Westervelt are
freelance reporters for the Emerald.
