Sundance Meadows Ranch hosts ‘Antique and Artisan Market’ to showcase local vendors

BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- An Antique and Artisan Market is being held at Sundance Meadows Ranch in southeast Bend. Local artists, antique vendors, and even young entrepreneurs are showcasing their finds and talents.

It's a family-run event put on by two sisters -- they even received a little help from their granddaughters and 93-year old mother.

Event organizer Terri Burton said, "We're doing the Bend Antique and Artisan Show, which is to highlight our local artists and some antique dealers from the area. We have just a variety of things. We're trying to highlight local people."

Two of the local vendors are teenage entrepreneurs -- and also, sisters. Their mother spoke about the opportunity to share their work with the community.

"The joy of these events is often all the people that you meet, and so it's really fun when the community comes out and enjoys old and new alongside each other," Jamie Wallace said of her daughters' bakery and artwork businesses.

Representatives from Sundance Meadows are on-site to answer questions about their facilities as well. Though their 900-acre ranch has been in existence since the 1970s, many locals are unaware they have family-friendly recreation activities, lodging, and even an RV park.

The event runs both Friday and Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 7 p.m. It's being held in the recreation hall of Sundance Meadows Ranch, located at 60335 Arnold Market Road.

Admission to the market is free; however, if you'd like to make a donation, it's accepting canned goods for The Giving Plate's food bank throughout the event.
