Local author and illustrator Kara Skye Smith presents her recently published abecedarius, populated with black-and-white silhouette images of fanciful wings. Kara will read at 10am, 11am, and noon. After each reading, she invites children to join her in creating fairy-inspired art.
This event takes place at the Shur-Way Sprout Corner, the children's activity area in the St. Johns Farmers' Market. Located at the northwest corner of the U-Bank parking lot, the Sprout Corner is staffed by volunteers from a rotation of local businesses and community groups. It presents a different activity for children each week, along with a quiet space and nursing area.

n its second year, the Market Day Poetry Series, hosted by St. Johns Booksellers in conjunction with the St Johns Farmers Market, takes place every
Saturday of the Market, June 5th through September 25th. Series
coordinator dan raphael, who has been arranging poetry readings in
Portland since the late 70’s, finds poets–many of whom are involved in
other reading series–to host individual readings and find two other
co-readers. This provides a broad diversity of readers from Portland’s
rich and multi-styled poetry scene.
