CAREFREE VINYL HOMES Portland Saturday Market Reappears Portland Saturday M arket opens its 18th season on M arch 2 and 3 in Portland’s Historic Old Town. T here’s a new look at the largest open-air crafts m arket in continuous operation in the United States. T here’s even a new color: ‘‘SM arket B lue.” New banners decorate the aisles o f the M arket, color-coding locations for the 282 vendors, and decorating the arches in Ankeny Park. The banners were designed by M arket vendors and have been in developm ent for almost a year. The opening o f the M arket will display them all in flying colors. Painters are at work under the Burnside Bridge, giving a brighter look to the M arket’s area as well. “ W e’re painting the area in white, which will give us more light and dress up the neighborhood as w ell,” says Portland Saturday Market General Manager, Bill Hancock. “ But, probably the biggestchange in the appearance of the M arket will be in the Food Area, ’ ’ continues Hancock. Tnere will be new food canopies in white with SM arket Blue stripes. Also, the old fam iliar picnic-type tables and benches will be replaced with white tables and chairs. “ W e think this will add a bistro feeling to the Food Area, and w e’re looking forward to the change,” says Hancock. The M arket is a gathering place for craftspeople,artists, m usicians, enter tainers, cooks and farmers to sell their woik and inform and entertain the public. It’s a favorite attraction for both resi dents and vistors in Portland with an average o f 6,000 visitors per day. “ The continuing efforts o f our B.B. King Honored As King of Blues Product Review Com m ittee insure the quality o f products sold here at the Market. The handcraftedness o f our products probably sets us apart from other places to shop even more than being outdoors and able to showcase jugglers, musicians, and things the more conventional shopping places c a n ’t offer,” says Hancock. Portland Saturday M arket now has an active m em bership o f about 700 vendors. This is significantly different from the first day in June, 1974, when about 35 craftspeople showed up, with a total o f 100 by the end o f the first season. Today, there are 282 spaces at the M arket, and 245 o f those are ‘ ‘re served spaces,” m eaning that a par ticular vendor has agreed to sell in that space every Saturday and Sunday dur ing the March through Christm as sea son. The rem aining spaces are granted to “ fill-in” vendors by a point system based on seniority, attendance, and serv ice to the Market. The M arket is a non-profit (not tax exem pt) corporation, wholly ow ned by the active membership. It is governed by a nine-m em ber Board o f Directors made up o f seven vendors elected by the m em bership, and tw o representa tives from the com m unity at large. The day-to-day operations o f the M arket are m anaged by Bill Hancock, G eneral M anager, and a staff o f six full-time employees. Financing for the M arket is exclusively provided by rental fees paid by the m em bership for their selling spaces. Portland Saturday M arket is open every Saturday and Sunday, March through Christmas. B.B.
