from A1
everybody’s on board
with,” she said.
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.
The sales included more
than the usual wares as
well. Some sellers chose
to present their own crafts
for people to buy, such as
Mendy McDaniel, who
sold handmade aprons,
potholders, bowl cozies
and other items such as
potted plants.

by Kim Kraft, who is a reg-
ular at the sale with nearly
15 years of experience. He
sells his toys and collect-
ibles as a hobby around
ferent towns down there
on the coast.”
He expressed an excite-
ment towards coming back
and selling next year as
well. “I just have a fun
time doing this and I
love coming up here.”
As shoppers milled
about, the rain in-
creased to a heavy
downpour and people
crowded into the pa-
vilion. Vendors with
tables outside the cov-
er made sure to put
tarps over their wares.
“It’s too bad it
rained because it ruined
it for some people,” said
Betty Hodges, one shopper
taking cover. She was at the
sale looking for beads, yarn
and other useful things.
But the rain didn’t dampen
her mood.
“I think it’s wonderful
for people — a way they
can sell what they make or
buy and see other people
and visit. So, I think it’s re-
ally nice for our area,” said
Hodges.

liked about the sale, Mc-
Daniel mentioned the con-
versations with people who
had bought things from
her in the past.
“They tell me how great
their plant is doing,” she
said.
Of the many things for
sale in the pavilion, almost
everyone spared a glance
at a group of three mod-
el ships, each one about
two feet tall and three feet
wide. 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.
Kraft also mentioned
his advertising for the sale,
“They send me the flyers
and I hang them up in dif-
