FUNKY JUNK
Funky Junk update!
Once
again Shannon Carter, with the help of Cabin 10, Inc. is hosting Funky
Junk in Terlingua Ghostown, and we’d like you to come out to the desert
to join the fun and help the cause. You might ask “what the funk”? Well,
it’s our annual celebration of the EyEball Renaissance, the creative
time when Mark “EyEball” Kneeskern roamed Terlingua turning Junk into
Art… Funky Junk!
October is an ideal time to come enjoy the desert as we transition into cooler temperatures.
This
year, Greg Hammer will open the Boathouse doors to Funky Junk where
we’ll feature the Funky Junk Art Show and a silent auction. We’ll have
live music from Noon – close, the schedule is listed below. Costumes
are encouraged, with a prize piece of Funky Junk art awarded for the
best costume.
How about that cool T-Shirt featuring an Eyeball
original? A limited number of these T-Shirts will be available for sale
the day of at the Boathouse, or better yet… make sure to get your size
by ordering one online at cabin10.org,
and have it sent directly to you. Also, we are seeking items/services
from the community for our silent auction. Please contact us here at
Cabin 10 if you have something you are willing to donate.
All
proceeds will go towards the funding of the Mark Kneeskern “EyEball”
Memorial Scholarship given each year to a graduating senior at Terlingua
CSD.

This
week we want to boast about the generosity of our community. A large
portion of the funding of the Mark “EyEBall” Kneeskern Memorial
Scholarship at Terlingua CSD comes from our Silent Auction. We’ve put
the word out that we are garnering donations and boy howdy, did y’all
come through. We hope y’all show up to snag each other’s stuff, cause
that’s kinda how it’s shaking out. We’ve got music lessons, recording
sessions, lodging packages, meals at your favorite restaurants, an
Architectural design package, swag items from local performers, artwork,
photography, sculptures, house concerts, outdoor adventure and sports,
massage packages, a bike tune-up, etc. We’ve even garnered items from
outside of our immediate community. Good folks just seem to recognize a
good cause and want to help. So now it’s up to you to come to the
Boathouse, Saturday (Oct. 21) and grab some bargains. The doors open at
noon with great local and out of town musical performances until
closing. This gives you plenty of time to come by and hang out, or just
drop by and take part in the silent auction. The Auction will close at
9pm, and you don’t have to be present to win your item. We’ll contact
you if you have the winning bid. Here’s the growing list of folks who
have stepped up to donate:

COMMUNITY GARDEN
Come see us at the Saturday Community Market from 10:00-1:00. Located at the Community Garden in the Ghost Town, we're there every Saturday with happy vendors offering an array of locally produced goods and other items.
Fresh eggs, local art, handcrafted textiles, goat milk soap, all natural lip balms, hand balms, essential oil perfumes and sugar scrubs, leather goods, handcrafted, creative jewelry, block printed textiles and vintage goods, both curated and upcycled, and more -- you never know just what you'll find here. Sandy's back for the season to open her super cute pop-up shop on Saturdays and so is Valerie with her fine selection of culinary treats.
We welcome new vendors. Come set up in the shade to sell your wares. Flea market items are welcome. After all, reusing and up-cycling already existing items is smart and green. We ask a $10 donation to the Community Garden to set up, helping us to continue to improve this space and experience for all of us. For more information, text or call 432.213.1863, email SherriTheWriter@aol.com or pop in to the market for a chat. Prepared food vendors must display current food handling licence. (A quick, easy and affordable online course can provide that).
Please help keep our market space safe and comfortable for all, two-legged and four, by keeping all dogs leashed and under control. We look forward to seeing you there.
