The Astoria Sunday Market gave a $2,000 grant to the Astoria Scandinavian Heritage
Association to support the nonprofit’s efforts to construct the Astoria Scandinavian Her-
itage Park, which will be built on the Riverwalk between 15th and 16th streets. Cyndi
Mudge, director of the Astoria Sunday Market, said the market’s mission is to support
projects that revitalize downtown Astoria, and this project fits perfectly. Pictured, from
