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.

For many so-called “problem”
students, poor behavior is a result of
poor grades. In other words, many
become “problems" because they
haven’t done well in school for many
years.

and often the parent and child can
not solve it alone. Your school
guidance counselor can help. A
three-way conference is the first
step. The counselor will assess your
child’s grades and behavior and de
vise a plan to improve both. He or
she may suggest supplemental edu
cation as one way to improve aca
demic performance. Such improve
ment will raise a child’s sense of
self-esteem and foster more appro
priate social behavior.
As you work together, remem
ber the counselor’s opinion is based
on professional expertise, not bias.
No matter how well you think you
know your child, you may be un
aware of some issues. Being objec
tive about your child is difficult for
most parents.
