A fun and funky flea market will be held on Saturday, March 28 at the Community Center as a benefit for Lopez Community Land Trust. The flea market features furniture, household items, art, books, children’s toys, clothing and accessories. Additionally, there will be a “Spring Market” offering baked goods from Barn Owl Bakery, a menu of items from Helen’s Farm, homemade sauerkraut by Josh Ratza and vegetable starts from the school’s LIFE Garden Program. To further add to the festivities, live music will be performed throughout, including the “Shark Reef Rounders,” “Nada Basura” and other younger budding musicians!
LCLT builds affordable housing and supports sustainable agriculture and renewable energy on Lopez Island. This year, three new homes are being built by LCLT – a two-bedroom flex for a young family, and two studio homes. Called the Salish Way Co-op, these homes add three more children to the neighborhood. The homeowners, interns and volunteers have been working nonstop to meet a mid-May deadline for occupancy. Perhaps these new homeowners will find just what they need perusing the day’s wares.
The flea market will be held on Saturday the 28 from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. There will be the opportunity for seed swapping at LCLT’s seed library on the same day from 11 a.m. until noon, 25 Tuatara Road. If you have any last minute donations, call Kay Keeler at 468-3630 ASAP and she’ll arrange to gather those items.
