Manager Zak Lance welcomes visitors to market at Fourth and Oak streets, in the parking lot of Oak Street Pub (formerly Horse and Hound). Kyla Feinberg of Zen Lotus Design arranges her jewelry display, which is next to the Snowed In Pro- duce stand she owns with co-owner Matthew Low. They grow veg- etables on their farm in Snowden, Wash. Ample local produce is available at the market (10 a.m. to 2 p.m.) along with hand-made items from a rotating selection of vendors. Lance said new site seemed to work out well despite the smaller “floor space” com- pared to past locations. ■ Send Vacation Bible School information to twalk- er@hoodrivernews.com or call 541-386-1234. AT WAAAM Luhr Jensen remembered Saturday Luhr Jensen history is the feature of the June 13 Second Saturday at Western Antique Aeroplane and Automobile Museum. Brothers Phil and Dave Jensen who were integral to the company will give audiences an insider view of just how Hood River came to be known as a fishing lure icon for decades. The Luhr Jensen history talks will be twice — the first at 11:30 a.m. and the second at 2 p.m. “We don’t usually call attention to our fish- ing artifacts but they are still an important part of transportation history,” says Museum Director Judy Newman. “How else would you get to the ultimate fishing spot unless you drive there or better yet use a float plane to land on the lake or river itself ! Our fishing collection mostly comes from Phil and Dave so we thought it was high time to invite the community for a celebration of our local his- tory.” The Museum will have its cars and air- planes out and about from 10am until 2pm in- cluding many of the familiar muscle cars that Phil and Dave have driven around Hood River in years past. By popular demand the restora- tion shop tour will be at 10:30am and again at 1 p.m. Open 9-5 daily, WAAAM collects, restores, preserves and exhibits airplanes from the Dawn of Flight through the Golden Age of Flight and historically significant cars and trucks from the first half of the 20th century. Located on the Hood River Airport at 1600 Air Museum Road. Admission for adults is $14, 65 and over is $12, kids between 5 and 18 are $6, under 4 is free.
