Alberta Street Fair

We had so much fun at the Alberta Street Fair this year! Thanks so much to Lucinda and Mary who carried the Garnish banner in the Parade. They looked fabulous in their Garnish apparel. The photo above shows Lucinda and Erica sporting two new skirt designs and Mary in an Amanda top. The day started off rainy, but by mid afternoon the weather was sunny and beautiful. Thanks to all those who filled the streets in support of the Fair and everyone who worked so hard to make Street Fair possible! We hope to see you all again next year.

3/50 Project

We are proud supporters of the 3/50 project. This project raises awareness of the importance of local business and how your support for them filters back into the economy and benefits us all! If half the population spent $50 a month in independently owned businesses, their purchases would generate more than $42.6 Billion in revenue! For every $100 spent in an independent store, $68 goes back into the community through taxes, payroll, and other expenditures! Portlanders are well known supporters of their local shops and we can't express how much we appreciate you! Thank you!

PICK 3. SPEND 50. Save your local economy.
