Calpine Marketplace
By Gabby “the reporter” Fringette
Yes, I was that short business-like woman hanging around the vendor stalls, and as I promised, here is a good report.
As you can see a large sign is placed at the entrance of the Calpine Park, where the market was held.
I like the orange balloons.
I would like to thank the Crowders, without whom the Calpine Marketplace wouldn’t have happened, thank you.
The Well Sure stall, nice for two reasons: 1. they will test your water. 2. they will test it for free if you win their raffle.
I am surprised when I meet someone with the patience to knit or crochet, particularly when as skillfully as these, by Emberlee Styles.
The raffle was a big event in the CM.
The lady with the hat is MaryJo Knuth and the announcer was Toni Manning.
The boy drawing the tickets is Duncan Kennedy.
The raffles were drawn over the course of the day, with great prizes donated by local people and businesses.
I love jewelry and I think that these jewels are beautiful.
The Gold Rush jewelry has real gold in it!
The walking sticks have real craftsmanship.
The welding is from the Wild Hare Welding.
The scholar ship quilt of the Cattlewomen, with all the local brands.
What beautiful purses.
Tasty treats for your doggie!
These pictures are called “Artography;” they are edited and collaged on the computer, then run through a filter to blend it a little.
Any one who can work with rocks like this I think has talent.
Here are some neat booths:
Wool dish cloths and ornaments, home made.
This booth was owned by friends of mine.
Marjorie Voorhees has vintage jewelry.
Home grown in a neighboring valley. Nothing better.
The pickled garlic is delicious!
There was lots of art!
The first Calpine Marketplace was so successful that they are planning to have more before long. Calpine Improvement Association sponsored the event, which was organized by Bill Nunes and Paula Crowder. Ormond Crowder and many local volunteers provided enthusiasm and energy. Special thanks to all the vendors and the many local people and businesses donated prizes, see the lists below.
