CLATSKANIE — The Clats-
kanie Farmers Market will
hold its second annual
Garlic Festival from 10 a.m.
to 2 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 20
at Copes Park.
This year roasted garlic
and artisan breads will be
featured, along with numer-
ous types of goat cheese to
accompany the pungent star
ingredient. One new vendor
is making a garlic-infused
chevre for the occasion.
The market has taken full
advantage of the new state
law allowing home bakers to
sell their goods. You should
expect to ind artisan loaves,
focaccia as well as a variety
of other bakery treats.
The farmers market’s
regular food demonstration
booth will turn its talents
to all things garlic for the
occasion. The market’s tapas
chef will turn out salsas,
gazpachos and pickled
cloves to highlight the la-
vors of raw garlic.
Come early for the usual
offerings of the market, but
stay for the garlic. Clatskanie
is blessed with ideal condi-
tions for growing the allium:
wet winters trending toward
drier weather in early sum-
mer and soil rich in nutrients.
Attendees can ind at least
13 varieties of hard and soft
neck garlic. Even though
elephant garlic isn’t true garlic
(it’s in the leek family) at least
one grower will offer it as well.
All told, there will be several
hundred bulbs to choose from.
Garlic aicionados search
markets far and wide to ind
their favorite varieties. The
Garlic Festival will offer old
favorites like Spanish roja,
Susanville, Italian late, and
music. There will also be a
wide selection of harder-to-
ind garlics, including Jimmy’s
blue mountain, pitterelli,
notka rose, bogatyr, Penasco
blue, duganski, Mount Hood,
Turk giant, purple glazer,
and blanak. This year, due to
excellent gardening practices
— but possibly because of the
winter loods — the bulbs are
enormous.
This Saturday, you won’t
have to drive to Portland
or Seattle to ind delicious
bodacious bulbs that have been
pumping up dishes for 7,000
years. Whether you’re looking
for that yearly bag of music
garlic (vendors are diligent
about curing — it has a shelf
life of four to six months),
want a spicy bulb to kick up
your barbecue sauce, or you’re
just curious and would like
to sample roasted garlic and
chevre, Clatskanie’s Garlic
Festival will meet your needs.

from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Aug.
27 and 28 at the Hoffman
Center for the Arts. There
will be an hour break for
lunch each day.
The workshop will

strokes. Students will exper-
iment with sumi ink, Chi-

brushes and papers, includ-
ing mulberry and hemp.
Techniques include using:
a split brush and sea sponges
for textures, special Chi-
nese papers for wet-in-wet
ink and paint application to
express subtle atmospheric
effects, and a monotype
technique to create un-
expected backgrounds to
develop further with detailed
brushwork.

demonstrations and lots of
hands-on practice. Students
will complete two or more
paintings.
The class will be taught
by Cindy Lommasson. She
has been teaching Chinese
brush painting to aspiring
artists of all ages since 2005
in the Portland area. To see
