A daily, 9am - 5pm, local indoor vendors' market in downtown Eugene.

Launching June 30, 2008
"Preview Week"

We're interested in local products and services, and related instruction. We're also interested in performers who want to do short demos of their productions. Write to us at the address below.

Its hub will be the Tango Center building, which was built in 1929 for the daily Eugene Public Producers' Market.

The intention is to create a flexible local vendor system, which can expand to fill any number of empty spaces downtown, and incubate micro-enterprises, for locally-driven economic development.

1) West Broadway revitalization: everyone agrees that not enough happens on West Broadway during the weekday. So, we address this deficit directly.

2) Local economic development: there's also no downtown gathering place for entrepreneurs: local proto-micro-enterprises, new sustainable businesses, and new social initiatives. We want to provide a meeting place, programmed activity, market space, and workshop space, all geared towards facilitating locally-driven economic activity. We call this part of the market "The Bootstrap Cafe".

... other suggestions? We'll cluster people as they sign up.

We're interested in any vendor, who either produces anything locally, or provides any service locally. Please write us a very brief proposal for a booth at The Weekday Market:
