This week's vendor spotlight:

“Art is a way, not a thing.” Peter grew up sailing around Vancouver Island, became a graffiti artist in his teens and loves Japan, to name a few of the main influences on his work. He is also a gardener and composter and reclaims a lot of discarded paint bound for landfills for his unique art.
Friday May 5th was Peter's last day at the market for a while... but he hopes to be back as life permits. You can keep in touch with him via his Instagram page.
SCCA announcements:

Lots of weeding and some digging, pruning, bench building, paver laying, picnic table building, wood donations, food and beverage for volunteers etc etc.
