Pateros Pop-up Market, Movie & Music grows in popularity.

PATEROS – The third of four Pateros Pop-up Community Markets snapped and crackled last Friday and Saturday, August 13-14, and despite the smoke from area wildfires and temperatures hovering in or near triple digits the turnout on behalf of both vendors and visitors suggests the city is on to something.
In only its third go-round the fledgling market and movie night combination has been a big hit with families, particularly the Friday night screening that features a family-friendly show after 8 p.m. The inflatable giant big screen erected in front of the multi-purpose building is drawing enough viewers that some started arriving early last Friday to secure good seats on the grass.
Last Friday’s feature at dusk was Dr. Dolittle with food, snacks, desserts, and beverages available from Mountain Meals & Catering and Saskatoon Kitchens.
On Saturday it was Market & Music with “Space For Rent” providing the tunes and Sweet River Bakery serving Blue Star Coffee, food items and pastries.
At least a dozen vendors selling everything from fishing tackle to fresh produce set up shop in Lakeshore Park. The final Community Market will pop-up on Friday and Saturday, Sept. 10-11. For more details check the Pateros Community Market Facebook site.
