Echo Market wraps up 2021 season
Organizer Teres
Fair hosted the
last market of the
season Oct. 2
By ERICK PETERSON

ECHO — The Echo
Market ended the final day
of its season Saturday, Oct.
2, as it had every other day
throughout its inaugural
year — with happy vendors,
joyful attendees and one
extremely busy organizer.
Teres Fair, Echo Market
founder and organizer,
rushed from one booth to
another as she made sure
everyone was satisfied. In the
minutes before the market’s
opening, she hardly had time
to take a breath.
“I feel really good. We
had a great season,” she
said.
She, who also owns the
Jack Correa Ranch, said she
believes the market reached
many vendors and visi-
tors who will return next
year. Likely, she said, they
will spread the word of the
market, thereby attracting
even more people.
“The big story here is that
big things can happen here,”
Fair said. “We’re a small
town with a big market.”
She also said several
other people deserve credit
for the community event
and the vendors played
a big part. Around 40
vendors operated Oct. 2 at
the market, which attracted
350-400 attendees.
Mike Duffy, Echo Heri-
tage Association president,
expressed his amazement
with Fair and the market. He
said he was unsure about this
event at its outset. Fair prom-
ised to “do what she could”
with the market, Duffy said,
and in the end Fair exceeded
every expectation. Duffy
said there is “every indica-
tion that it’s going to work
again next year.”
Duffy, who has lived
in Echo 22 years, said he
expects the Echo Market
will be his town’s signature
event. He has seen events
come and go, he said, but this
one is different. In contrast
to some other events, this
market is linked to Echo’s
identity as a small town.

Ruben Harris, local farmer, stands beside his booth Saturday, Oct. 2, 2021, during the last day of the season of the Echo Mar-
ket. Harris, who brings vegetables to the Echo Market, said he has enjoyed the market.
Having small sellers selling
handmade or homegrown
goods fits the small-town
feel of Echo, Duffy said.
Also, he added, Fair, a
local farmer, is the “perfect
person” to host such an
event. Her contacts, work
ethic and passion for Echo
all make her a terrific orga-
nizer, Duffy said.
Though Fair deemed this
season a success, she said
there is room for growth and
next year will be bigger and
better.

WALLOWA —The Nez
Perce Wallowa Homeland is
looking to hire a filmmaker/
crew to produce a short
film about the history of the
Tamkaliks Celebration.
After more than 30 years,
the Nez Perce have count-
less memories and stories to
share, including many people
who were instrumental in
planning the first powwow
and all of the celebrations to
follow. The film will focus on
their stories, many of whom
are now elders. The mission
of the film is to elevate
connections to Tamkaliks
and the Wallowa Valley, and
to preserve the “history in
the making” that Tamkaliks
represents.
Nez Perce/Native Amer-
ican filmmakers will be
given preference in the hiring
process. For more informa-
tion, contact Sara Averbeck
