MARKETPLACE • COMMUNITY • CELEBRATION
From KimberlyLast Saturday was one for the
record books! We didn’t ever experi-ence the scary, high winds predicted by some, but it was an unusual mar-ket day to be sure. When was the last time we consolidated all of our vendors on one Park Block or closed the Market more than an hour early?
Reflecting on last Saturday...We have an awesome communi-
ty of folks who support one another. It was heart-warming to sell all
the smiles, good energy and cama-raderie amongst the small group of dedicated and fearless vendors who made a market last Saturday.
There was also support lent by members from afar who posted lov-ing messages of concern and safe-keeping to members who came down to sell. As for customers, some hardy souls came down and did a bit of shopping, and the Breakfast Club arrived as usual ;-)
Wishing you a calm and pros-perous day,
Kimberly
HM Orientations & Final Product Screenings
If you’ve never sold at Holiday Market, you need to attend a special Holiday Market orientation. This includes those of you who have been selling at the Park Blocks this season. It will make your HM experience go much more smoothly! The orienta-tion will provide lots of important info specific to the Holiday Market vending experience, addressing ev-erything from parking and load in to credit card sales to the location of the rest rooms. We have two more orientations scheduled, Wednesday Oct. 26 at 6:00 PM, and Wednes-day, Nov. 2 at 3:30 PM at the office. The Nov. 2 orientation will be fol-lowed by the final product screening for this year at 4:15 PM. There is no product screening on Oct. 26
If you are introducing a new product line for Holiday Market that is very different than your approved products, you’ll need to bring those items to a screening for approval. There is just ONE MORE screen-ing this season, Nov. 2 at 4:15 PM.
Elf Ornaments to Color!Are you up for a relaxing, fun
coloring project? We have many la-ser engraved wooden elf ornaments that we’d love to have made beau-tiful by Marketeers! Like last year, these are made of MDF, and can be painted, glittered, crayoned, sharp-ied and penciled in whatever way suits your fancy. These will be given away to our customers on Nov. 19-20 as prizes for participating in our I Spy Elves game. Grab some at the Info Booth, and get them back to the Market before Nov. 19. Thanks!
Annual Meeting, Nov. 2The Annual Meeting of the Sat-
urday Market will take place on Wednesday, Nov. 2 at the Eugene Garden Club, 1645 High St.
The meeting will start with a potluck at 6:00 PM followed by the meeting. Agenda will include presentations from each committee, the State of the Market report, Volunteer of the Year award, and time for questions and comments from Market members. All are encouraged to attend.

If you haven’t placed an ad you’re welcome to come have a look and pick up a copy or two. After 8:30 Holiday Market Guidebooks will move with Heather to Booth #150.

Holiday Market PostcardsWe have Holiday Market post-
cards for you to distribute to your customers. There’s room on the back for addresses if you want to mail them, or for your own specific booth information. Some folks even include a “percentage off with this card” mes-sage. You can leave a few at your gym, your dentist’s office, or pin one up on a local bulletin board. And certainly give them to anyone who makes a purchase from you! Pick some up to-day!
Booth Weights AvailableHere’s your reminder that booth
weights are required for pop-up booths and strongly recommended for metal pole and wooden frame booths.
There are canvas booth weight bags available at the Info Booth at the excellent price of $10 each. They are not filled, you’ll have to do that yourself, it can be done for $5 or less at Lane Forest Products, we hear.
Please help keep yourself, your stuff, your neighbors and their stuff, and your customers safe by weight-ing your booth!
