From BethThe Eugene Saturday Market

is always groovy cool. You will find something new, engage in an impor-tant topic of the day and find a new idea for something to make. There is also something elastic about the foot-print in that we always look like a destination. And people always come. It is a little bit magic and a lot of hard work mixed with inspiration, dedica-tion and a powerful cycle of decades of creating what is THE premier public market in the country. 

Thanks for being here before and thanks for being here now. See you next week! Have a lovely Saturday. 

~Beth

From KimToday is my last Market day,

Marketeers! I am both excited for my new adventures and sad to go. Fortunately, this is the kind of work-place where it won’t be weird for me to come back and hang around, so I won’t be a stranger!! I picked my fa-vorite Saturday of the year to be my grand finale, and I’m glad you’re here to share it with me. Don’t worry, I’m leaving you in excellent hands. Which brings me to this next an-nouncement...

Welcome New Managers!!!I am thrilled to announce that

we have hired Kirsten Bolton as our new General Manager and Jacob St-rouckel as our new Promo and Ad-vertising Manager! Kirsten officially starts on July 11, and Jacob on July 20. Of course there will be more de-tails and getting-to-know-you info forthcoming in the next couple of weeks, but for now just know that both are highly qualified and very excited to join the Market team. Ja-cob is actually on site today, starting to learn the ropes from Kim, so track them down and say hi!

We Will Be Depositing HM Initial Payment Checks Now

Contrary to the info on your HM renewal card, we will now be depos-iting checks for the minimum pay-ment when received. If you need to make a smaller initial payment, make arrangements with Vanessa.
