Generally, most of the sales take place in Drain’s Civic Center, or in the neighboring pavilion and park, but sales around town were also welcome. Accord- ing to Reed, this year there were about 10 ven- dors inside and around the pavilion, along with about 40 more at the Civic Center in the form of a massive book sale. Additionally, about 10 to 14 vendors were situated around town. “People will wait to have their sales for this weekend because there’s so many people in town,” said Reed.

They were being sold Oregon at festivals and other sales. Kraft found the ships while exploring the other sales around Drain and bought them because they were just collecting dust — and he had to have them. He said if they didn’t sell at the community-wide event, he would try Coos Bay, where he’s from.
