One More Time!

 in Blog  tagged bazaar / Hockinson High School

Yesterday’s event at Prairie High School was fantastic.  It was my first time at this Holiday Bazaar and although I knew it would be busy, I wasn’t prepared for the onslaught of shoppers.  Not that my booth was the destination for many shoppers, but I was located next to what must have been the most popular vendor there.  When the doors opened at 9AM there was a long line of people waiting to enter and it seemed that half of them headed straight to my neighbor’s booth!  The area was filled with shoppers for hours. I’m sure that the popularity […]

Week 3 of Holiday Bazaars

 in Blog  tagged bazaar / Grout

Grout Elementary School is the only elementary school bazaar I go to.  I went last year for the first time only because other plans I had made for that weekend fell apart, but it was such a good event that I expect I’ll be going back every year, even though it is small and short (it runs from 9AM to 1PM).  There are lots of kids, great live music, a good selection of handmade crafts, and a bake sale.  The neighborhood seems to support the school well, so the shoppers are serious!  Please come join us if you can. Last […]

The “Super Moon”

 in Blog  tagged Super Moon

You may have heard that tomorrow’s Full Moon will be the largest “Super Moon” since 1948.  Wile this is an interesting factoid, and astronomers generally love to get any kind of attention in the press, the case for “Super Moons” is a little over-stated. The apparent size of the Moon varies over time because the distance between Earth and the Moon varies slightly – from 221,500 miles to 238,900 miles.  The way that this distance changes is quite complicated, due to the strong influence of the Sun and the fact that there is not an integral relationship between the orbital […]

Next Up: West Linn

Yesterday’s event at Baker Prairie Middle School in Canby was a great success.  We used to live in Canby, but I think this school was built after we left, and I was surprised at how big and nice it is.  The staff was also very nice – at least the people I met (thanks, Jim and Kim!).  It was not hectic, like some of the big holiday bazaars coming up, but there was a pretty steady stream of shoppers, and a very pleasant atmosphere. Note the sign at the top right about the solar eclipse coming next year.  This was […]

Art to Art Holiday Bazaar

 in Blog  tagged Art 2 Art / Canby / holiday bazaar

The first holiday bazaar of the season is this Saturday – already!  Nov. 5, 9AM to 4PM, at Baker Prairie Middle School in Canby, OR.  I’ll be there with a huge collection of astro-photos in traditional prints, backlit film prints, digital images, and calendars.  I’ll also be showing samples of (and, hopefully, taking orders for) backlit prints of customer images.  And with the newly reduced price for my “Space Windows” I expect they will sell very well, just as they did at the Oregon Star Party. I know it seems very early to be shopping for Christmas, but the schools […]
