The Vernonia Open Air Market Welcomes New Vendors
has included locally made
crafts and other goods and has
been sited 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.
It is hoped that 2018
will bring a permanent home
to the market. Thanks to the
work by the City, the vacant lot
which once hosted the Vernonia
Health Center, next to Rock
Creek on Bridge Street, is ready
for us. Further developments
are expected, including power
and water, in coming years.
Businesses of all types
are encouraged to participate,
as well as student fundrais-
ing groups and those seeking a
place from which they can dis-
tribute information. Manage-
