ODENAH Market year 2
The Odenah Market, the “Indian Village” officially opens on Thursday May 21, at 11 am with a grounds renewal ceremony and a small feast. On Friday Saturday, Sunday and Monday the market will be open and the Indian Artisans and craft people will be there to show their wares and visit with the Public.
All native artists and crafters are invited to set up at the village ,free of charge. Also people who have fresh produce are also welcome to set up when ever they want. The Market place is there and can be used 7 dys a week but we would like to target the weekends and holidays . Its first come first served for the arbors that are up. bring your own tables and chairs. Canopys are also welcome.
Plans are in the works for new signs and more work on the grounds.
We have started Indian School and some of the classes will be held at the market place and we will post the syllabus on the e-democracy group , this blog and in the Cass lake Times So come on out and visit the Odenah Market place.
Wild rice, maple sugar cakes, hand made 90 pound bows with arrows and a quiver, canoes, birch-bark work . bead work. quilts, Native artists with prints and originals. You name it and the native market will either have it or know where to get it.Located on Hi-way 2 west of Cass lake right next to Chucky’s Chicken so if you get hungry shopping you can stop in and see Larry and Marilyn and try the chicken or an Indian Taco.
They have graciously donated the space for the Odenah Market. Some day I will blog about the the birth of the village and trying to find a home for it. I haven’t done that yet because I wanted sometime to pass ,so i could try to be a little diplomatic when I write about it but its pretty hard to be objective and diplomatic when people aren’t honest with you. But never mind all that for now, the important thing is that the Odenah Market has a home and we are grateful to Larry and Marilyn for that.
SEE you at the Market
