While the seasonal Astoria Sunday Market is our centerpiece program,
we have created other activities and events that also fulfill our mission.
Young Entrepreneur’s Club and Market Biz Kidz
This is a collaborative project with Clatsop County 4-H to encourage young people to become entrepreneurs. We
provide an annual “Boot Camp” where kids learn the basics of making, promoting and selling a product. During the
season we provide tents, tables and other gear. The Market Biz Kidz vend together in one location. We also offer grants
to those who vend five or more times and turn in a completed business plan and grant application. New this year is a
partnership with Sunset Empire Parks and Recreation for Biz Kidz to also vend at the Wednesday Seaside Market.
Cruise Ship Markets
Board
Jack N. Ficken
Astoria Sunday Market provides vendors at the Port of Astoria creating a festive welcoming for the Cruise Ships. The
Clatsop Cruise Ship Hosts – a non-profit educational organization that provides more than 150 volunteers to welcome
Cruise guests to our city – take the lead in this effort and work closely with the Market and the Port of Astoria.

2018 Cover Art Lisa Sofia
Working as a professional photographer
and oil painter for decades, Lisa has
found these two art forms rich in
experience. As her artistic talents
evolved, she became frustrated by a
sense of limitation. By marrying the two
in a digital multi-media creation, she
combines texture, color and emotion to
share the rich world of her mind to an
appreciative audience.
