Here’s a start:

Ilwaco, WA-Saturday Market at the Port of Ilwaco kicks off the 2009 season one week early on April 25 to celebrate the Tall Ships in Port, the Lady Washington and Hawaiian Chieftain.

Market vendors will highlight modern day equivalents of the items traded between the Chinook Tribe and American and European fur traders during the late 1700s and 1800s-beads, blue cloth and smoked salmon. Crow Creek Designs specializes in exquisite hand turned wooden beads and pendant jewelry. Multi-colored glass beads are featured in the attractive jewelry designs of Treasures by Val’s. Fashionable blue cloth T-shirts and denim shirts imprinted or embroidered with sea inspired designs are created by Blue Crab Graphics and Coastal Creations. Smoked salmon is the key ingredient to the savory chowder offered by Dan and Tina Delay of Smoked Salmon Chowder. For the rakish at heart, treasure chests and wooden pirates swords can be discovered at Grandma’s & Grandpa’s Crafts.

Shop for handmade arts, crafts and plants. Picnic on delicious seafood, American and ethnic fare, kettle corn, hot donuts and more. Stroll along the marina and watch the people, boats and dogs parade by. Saturday Market at the Port is open every Saturday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. between April 25 and September 26, 2009. For Saturday highlights and more information, see www.portofilwaco.org/saturdaymarket.html or call (360) 783-1143.
