Today, Thursday, April 15, Capella Market will donate 5% of sales to the Washington Park Spray Play project. What's that? Well... New health and safety regulations required that Eugene's beloved wading pools be closed after the summer of 2009. The Eugene Parks Foundation in partnership with the City of Eugene and the community plans to help convert the closed wading pools into spray play parks, starting at Washington Park in south Eugene (between 19th & 21st Streets, and Lawrence & Washington Avenues). Seed money has been committed to the project by the City of Eugene and the Eugene Parks Foundation, and public fundraising is now underway. For more information on the web about this project: www.eugeneparksfoundation.org.
If you have come into the store recently and looked up, you might have seen a bicycle hanging in the "sky"...
It's a Giant Rincon Mountain Bike, and we're raffling it at $1 per ticket to benefit FOOD for Lane County's Gardens Program. There's no limit to the number of tickets you can purchase. The drawing will be held on April 23 at 6pm.
And, a reminder that April 17 is Gluten Free Saturday, which we hold on the third Saturday of every month. Noon-4pm, demos, samples, and your questions answered by our knowledgeable staff. And just a note to put May 7-9 on your calendar. We'll be having our annual Food Fair during that weekend. Stay tuned for more info. Be sure to follow us on Twitter! twitter.com/capellamarket.
