This Friday, May 30, 2025, as part of the Big Bend High School Graduation, the 10th Annual Mark Kneeskern Memorial Scholarship will be awarded.  Mark ("eYeBall") was a beloved member of the Terlingua community and was an artist, musician, writer, lover of adventure and the town and children of Terlingua. When he died unexpectedly in 2014, his partner, Shannon Carter Seaton, created the scholarship to fund art projects for children in the Big Bend. Soon after, Crystal Allbright began coordinating those efforts and several years back, Cabin 10 (a 501(c)(3)) began awarding the scholarship to a graduating senior of Big Bend High School. The primary fundraiser for the scholarship is the Terlingua Music Bash which happens each October. 

 

The graduation ceremony is at 7:00 pm Friday, on May 30th in the school gymnasium and while the awarding of the scholarship is just a part of the overall graduation ceremony, we wanted to be sure that Mark's friends near and far know the tradition continues.  If you want any more information about the scholarship, please go to https://cabin10.org/scholarships. We would be grateful for any donations for this year's silent auction. You can email cabin10org@gmail.com

Saturday Community Market from 10:00-1:00.

Located at the Community Garden in the Ghost Town, we're here every Saturday with happy vendors offering an array of locally produced goods and other items. You'll also be able to enjoy our fabulous local mobile library from 10:00-3:00. 

 

This week is the last Saturday of May, so we're waiving our usual $10 set up donation. It's a great day for new vendors to try out our market. We welcome local art, handcrafted goods, flea market items, creatively upcycled offerings and more. Prepared food vendors must display current food handling licence. (A quick, easy and affordable online course can provide that).

 

Local art, handcrafted textile goods, fresh eggs, all natural lip balms and skin care products, essential oil perfumes, handcrafted, creative jewelry, resin creations, block printed textiles and vintage goods, both curated and upcycled, practical and artistic items made of reclaimed steel and more -- you never know just what or who you'll find here. 

 

We welcome new vendors. Flea market items are also 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. 

 

We'll be here all summer, in the shade. This year, we're celebrating the summer season by waiving the set up donation on the last Saturday of each of our summer months. It's a great way for a creator or new vendor to try out our market. We typically have a table and chair or two to loan to new vendors. 

 

For more information, text or call 432.213.1863, email SherriTheWriter@aol.com or pop in to the market for a chat. 

 

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.
