crazy Portland day

Saturday was a really fun and busy day out in our crazy city. We visited the farmers market to stock up, and then headed to Mt. Tabor park for the annual soapbox derby. People make cars and then race them down the steep hills of Mt. Tabor - there were 44 entrants, all of whom raced the course three times. There were prizes for speed as well as various aesthetic qualities. The entire event is run by volunteers and is a total hoot - well worth the visit.

We came home to unload our produce and have lunch, and then headed over to the Multnomah Days Street Fair - music, arts and craft vendors, children's activities - we had a good time and then got too tired for more, and came home.
