</SPAN></FONT>Moscow’s outdoor Farmers Market may be over until May, but market
aficionados will have five chances this fall and winter to recreate the spirit
of the market – indoors. </P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="TEXT-INDENT: 0.5in"><FONT face="Times New Roman"
size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Heart of the Arts, Inc., a non-profit group
formed to support arts and culture programs in </SPAN></FONT>Moscow, will
sponsor a Winter Market at the 1912 Center starting Saturday, Nov. 13.
Organizers expect almost two dozen vendors, many of whom are regulars at the
outdoor market to participate.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="TEXT-INDENT: 0.5in"><FONT face="Times New Roman"
size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">“This is a chance extend the warmth of
Farmers’ Market as we socialize with friends and shop for unique items, while
creating a new tradition for the 1912 Center,” said Evelyn “Evie” Adler,
president of Heart of the Arts. </SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN

Doors to the Great Room on the center’s plaza level will open at
</SPAN></FONT>10 a.m. and the market will run until 2 p.m. The St. Cecelia
Strings, consisting of Lois Blackburn (cello), Becky Miller (violin) and Julia
Cohen (viola), will play from 10:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. on the balcony overlooking
the Great Room.</P>

pottery, African baskets, jewelry, batiks, paint-your-own ceramics, murals,

the Heart of the Arts board of directors, originally proposed the indoor market
three years ago. He pointed out that the Saturday morning market in the
summer and fall has been a popular event for three decades.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="TEXT-INDENT: 0.5in"><FONT face="Times New Roman"
size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">“However, when the days grow shorter and
the nights longer, this wonderful mechanism for community vanishes, along with
the fall colors,” Hillebrand said. “The Winter Market will perpetuate this
opportunity for fellowship and community during the cold, isolated winter
months.”</SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="TEXT-INDENT: 0.5in"><FONT face="Times New Roman"

president from </SPAN></FONT>Linda Pall earlier this year, is hoping that market
regulars will turn out to “shop for unique handcrafted items and art while
socializing and enjoying delicious munchies.” </P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="TEXT-INDENT: 0.5in"><FONT face="Times New Roman"

Heart of the Arts, Inc., was founded last year to develop and fund artistic and
cultural programs using the 1912 Center as a centerpiece. The
building – </SPAN></FONT>Moscow’s high school from 1912 to 1939 – is owned by
the city of Moscow. The group views the building as “a focus for
education, exhibition, enhancement and excellence.”</P>
