he’d sold 17 knives by noon.

sales as well. David and Crish
Hamilton, who live between
Mt. Vernon and John Day,
said they have been selling
honey at the bazaar for years.
“The best part about it is
all the people we get to see
that we don’t see very often,”
Crish Hamilton said. “Dave
and I moved here in 1993,
and it was the big event of the
year, and it still is.”
Wildflower honey was among the assortment of
goods available at the bazaars on Saturday. David
Hamilton said he has been selling honey there for
years. “I don’t make the honey,” he said. “The bees
do, and I just steal it.”

Studded Tire Use Illegal
With the advent of winter,
Oregon motorists are remind-
ed that tires with metal studs
projecting beyond tread or
traction surfaces are illegal in
Oregon, according to the De-
partment of Motor Vehicles.
Motorists are subject to arrest
if they use the tires, but there
is no law prohibiting their sale.
Some states have legalized
the studded tires, but a similar
bill introduced in the 1965 Or-
egon Legislature did not pass.

ported in the September issue
