The Redmond Saturday Market is now open.

With the warm weather last Saturday, the market’s opening day was filled with smiling faces and excitement as folks returned to shop the fresh, local produce and crafts made by local artists. The smells of tamales, sausage sandwiches, crepes and popcorn lingered in the air — making anyone hungry for a bite to eat.

The day’s festivities began with Redmond Mayor John Marchione doing the honor of cutting the ribbon for the market’s 38th season. The crowd cheered and members of Redmond High School’s Pep Band performed to celebrate the market’s opening.

The Redmond Fire Department also came in full force, parking their engine in the driveway and posing for lots of photos. In addition, Heart of Dreams Alpacas brought their critters along for the ride. Folks visited and fed the alpacas out on the grassy area all day long.
