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.
