She said she has been doing events like Hermiston’s Spring Bazaar for 30 years. By ERICK PETERSON Hermiston Herald A fter a slow start, business started picking up at the Hermiston Spring Bazaar, according to Hermiston Parks & Recreation employ- ees and event vendors. Michelle Villalobos, recreation lead, counted 50 vendors inside and 35 outside for a total of 85 sellers. She said this was a good turnout for sellers, and that the low attendance early on in attendees was probably due to the rainy weather on Saturday, May 14.
