Hey All!
We had an excellent day today, glad to see everyone enjoying the holiday weekend. Speaking of holiday weekend, some of your favorite vendors are getting ready for tomorrow. It's a three day weekend for everybody!! Well...a two day weekend for us at least :). We will be setting up on the Cultural Center lawn again tomorrow morning!! So come on out and see us on a wonderful Memorial Day! From 9-3 as usual :).
In other Market news...
We just wanted to make everyone aware that there is a new form of theft going on in the Market. That's right everyone, we unfortunately have to inform you that our seagull friends are getting bolder. When Paul Mistretta, owner of Strung Out On Beads And Coffee, set up his booth today he had no idea that one of those rascally birds would set out to pilfer one of his scones. It was one of those moments you had to see to believe, and we almost couldn't believe it ourselves. So watch yourselves, you never know when you're in for an airstrike!

Hey again everyone!
The first two Sundays of the Market have been a great success, and it is all thanks to our wonderful vendors and our even greater customers!
This week we had the honor of hosting a local non-profit with a very noble cause. The Avon 39.3 mile Breast Cancer Walk. The family of Tanya Valora & Raven Brunner are trying to raise at least $3,600 by July before they set out on the 39 mile trek. Because of Avon, who helps with early detection and treatment of breast cancer, Tanya's family and very close friends have not only had one, but four survivors!! Including Tanya's aunt Linda who finished chemo a year ago this month. To say that they are passionate about this cause, is definitely and understatement. Breast Cancer is a serious concern for many in today's day and age, and to learn more about it visit: http://www.cancer.org/acs/groups/content/@epidemiologysurveilance/documents/document/acspc-030975.pdf
Tanya's family is doing amazing things thanks to the help of Avon: and in addition to the hours of training necessary for the walk, they have been busy organizing fundraising events around the city. On May 11th they raised $469 dollars at a spaghetti dinner, bake sale, and raffle! They are well on their way to meeting their goal, but there are still ways in which you can help! Including a car wash and can drive later this month, and an upcoming Family Fun Casino Night on June 2nd at the Lincoln City Community Center. Free entertainment for adults and children, as well as $1 games for adults and children including: bingo, blackjack, dice, fishing, roulette, and more! Also there will be over 25 raffle prizes from local merchants and citizens, with more being added weekly! Food will also be available during the Casino Night, hot dogs, chips, popcorn, soda, bottled water, and more. With all of the proceeds going towards the cause! Just this weekend at the Sunday Market the added an additional $294 to the cause! So a big thank you to our community for helping to make this possible!
