Every Wednesday, a myriad of tantalizing aromas, music and conversation floats through downtown Camas when the Farmer's Market opens.
Located between the library and City Hall, this local market includes fresh fruit, produce, cooking demonstrations, wine and food vendors, beverages, kids activities and much more.
"I really like to see the spirit of community come alive every Wednesday when the market is just bustling with energy and happiness," said Marilyn Goodman, program coordinator, who began her job with the market two years ago.
"It has been so exciting to see how much people love this small town market," she said. "I enjoy talking with customers about what brings them back each week and hearing their stories. We are so fortunate in having an excellent crew of volunteers who set up the market each week and help us tear down and our board members, some who have been with the market since it started out seven years ago."
On a typical Wednesday evening at the market, families can be found eating dinner together and children are often running around on the lawn of the library, a book in one hand and a treat in the other."
