Mindfulness Group, 4-5pm today & Thursday, Dec. 7, NAMI It’s cold, windy and we’re having more rainy days than sunny ones. You know what that means? The Lane County Farmers Market and Saturday Market have headed inside to become the Holiday Farmers Market. The Holiday Farmers Market takes place this week on Saturday, Dec. 2, and Sunday, Dec. 3. The market includes an international food cart, live music (check our music listings for full information on acts) and more than 200 different booths with merchandise for sale. It’s the perfect destination to pick up some handmade, local holiday gifts. This week’s Holiday Market is especially worthwhile, because Saturday Market will be hosting Fix-It Fair — a first come, first serve event put on by the City of Eugene that offers both volunteers and professionals available to repair household items. These items can span from small appliances to clothing to toys, but the Fix-It Fair won’t be able to fix any gas-powered items, cook stoves or computers. So, come buy new gifts while getting old favorites fixed. The Holiday Farmers Market takes place from 10 am to 5 pm on Saturday, Dec. 2, and 11 am to 5 pm on Sunday, Dec. 3, at the Lane Events Center (796 W. 13th Avenue). The Fix-It Fair inside the market on Saturday takes place from noon to 3 pm. Admission is FREE. — Meerah Powell Resource Ctr., 2411 MLK Jr. Blvd., 541-520-3096. FREE.
