The INDEPENDENT, June 17, 2004 Page 5 Variety of booths, goods and services at Vernonia Country Market Do n If you were in town on the third Saturday in May or the first Saturday in June you prob- ably noticed considerable ac- tivity around Shay Park (where the train is for those unfamiliar with the name of the park) and Adams Avenue. The activity was created by buyers and sellers at the Vernonia Country Market (VCM) where a dedicat- ed and diverse group of ven- dors appear despite occasion- ally disappointing weather. Operating under the umbrel- la of the Vernonia Chamber of Commerce, VCM provides both the structure and opportu- nity for community members and visitors to buy and sell handcrafted items, produce and selected items for re-sale. Musicians and other perform- ance artists, are encouraged to add to the ambiance by dis- playing their talents. Unlike some of the crowded farmers’ markets in the valley, VCM has a very relaxed atmosphere to go along with a wide variety of products for sale. Produce is expected to start showing up soon (it’s a little early still) and at least one vendor has prom- ised strawberries! Currently, five vendors and one non-profit informational agency are committed to being present on market days. The Five Wives sell an eclectic mix of homemade syrup and bread, produce, clothing, patterns, treats and shampoos for our four-legged friends and too many other things to mention, Get Y ! W t t i a ’ including produce grown by the young son of one of the wives. Mike’s Hardy Plants brings a bunch of nifty plants from his Cornelius nursery, nicely com- plimenting the cut flowers, an- nuals and, of course, peonies provided by Penelope’s Pe- onies. Rounding out the mar- ket, Just Janie’s has window decals, dishcloths, handmade cards and Avon products. Tucked away in a quite corner near the river, New Day Mas- sage & Bodyworks can give you a relaxing massage after you pick up a candle or video- tape. VCM also provides a place for Master Gardener Clinics where you can ask plant questions and discuss yard and garden issues with trained volunteers. Anyone interested is encour- aged to come to the market to buy, sell or just hang out. To set up a booth, obtain an applica- tion at Etcetera, 715 Bridge Street (in the theater building), prior to market day, or between 7-9:00 a.m. on market days. Booth fees are very reason- able. The market is open, rain or shine, from 10:00 to 4:00 on the first and third Saturdays from May to October, with the exception of Jamboree week- end. A couple of new vendors should be showing up on the 19th, including a hot-dog booth.
