It’s seventh season saw vendor numbers, atten- dance and sales all up by sig- nificant margins compared to 2015. Chelsea Metcalfe, who was the Dallas Area Visitor’s Center executive director during the 2016 season, gave the credit to “Bounty Bon,” Dreier. “When we started Bounty Market, Bonnie and I were doing our planning, we would feel like we were suc- cessful if we had 10 vendors every week,” Metcalfe said during the market recap By the numbers Polk County Bounty 2016 36 Total vendors 19 Weekly vendor aver- age 9,333 Customers $89,600 2016 sales $410,000 Total sales meeting on Oct. 18. “We — she — has practically dou- bled that. She had an aver- age of 19 vendors every sin- gle week this year. That takes a lot of work and a lot of effort.” In total, 36 vendors par- ticipated in the 2016 sea- son, The season runs from the first Thursday in May to the last Thursday in September at the Academy Lawn at Main and Acade- my streets. In that time, Bounty had 9,333 customer visits. “To have it jump over 2,000 people, that’s huge. This was huge for us,” Met- calfe said. Those customers spent an impressive amount, too: $89,600 and that estimate may be a little short. “There are some vendors who don’t want to do stats, so this is approximate,” Dreier said. That is up from $50,600 in 2015 and brings the total to $410,000 in the market’s seven-year run. “I’m so proud of this,” Metcalfe said. “I am so proud of you for sticking with this market, working so hard for it. I’m so proud of all of our ven- dors for putting out an amazing product week after week.” Missing Portland woman found in Falls City Itemizer-observer staff report FALLS CITY — Lesia Osiychuk was report- ed missing at 4:55 p.m. on Saturday, but was found Sunday morning at 9:20 a.m. Osiychuk, 26, of Portland, was picking mushrooms with friends near mile marker 5 of Valsetz Road, southwest of Falls City, when she became separated from a group of friends, according to reports from the Polk County Sheriff’s Department. Polk County Search and Rescue were dis- patched, but by the time the main body of searchers arrived, it was dark and raining lightly. Search teams deployed on foot and used vehicles to access the many forest roads in the area, the Sheriff’s Office report- ed. Polk County was assisted by search and rescue members from Benton, Yamhill and Linn counties, as well as a SAR Region Three tracking dog. Oregon State Police Fish and Wildlife also assisted in the search, which went throughout the night. Osiychuk was located by a team of searchers at 9:20 Sunday morning on a sec- ondary forest road accessed by using a chain saw to clear downed trees. Osiychuk was found with a light jacket and sweatshirt. Though chilled, she was not injured, nor did she require medical attention, the reports state.
