Open Air Market Seeks Public Input
On Saturday, January 17 th
the Open Air Market is hosting an
informational potluck to kick off a
recruiting drive for the 2015 season. The
Market runs June through early October
and features farm fresh produce from
around the Vernonia area.
In past years the market has
included locally made crafts and other
goods and has been located at different
locations throughout Vernonia. Without
a permanent home, the market has
relied on advertising and word of mouth
to bring in vendors and customers.
While 2015 will not bring a
permanent home to the market, it is
hoped that new developments on the old
school site will include a suitable place
for the market. With the possibility
of new features and a new home, the
market managers are seeking guidance
from the community.
At 1:00 PM on January 17 th
they welcome anyone interested in the
future of the market to join them at
the Grange building on the corner of
Washington and North streets, across
from the Vernonia Christian Church.
Please bring a small dish of your choice
to share.
Following the meal, attendees
will be encouraged to let their voices be
heard. A short history of the market will
be followed by a question and answer
session. Everyone is invited and the
managers are especially interested in
hearing from vendors and public who
have been unable to participate in the
market, but desire to do so.
Interested parties may contact
Rachel or Bill Langmaid with questions
or to RSVP. They can be reached
at Rachel@rangelights.com, Bill@
rangelights.com, or by calling 503-429-
0438.
