Icarus, a mural in down town Albany painted by Seth Jefferson in 2009. While many residents said they did't think this piece matched the historic feel of own town, it has stayed here for ten years. Albany only ha two murals, many residents wish to add more in the future. M favorite part of this depiction os Jefferson's color choice. When the sun is on the west side of this building, the yellow is so vibrant. The contrast to the green trees and architecture is stunning.
The Albany Farmers Market has been going strong since it was founded in 1991. Just ten miles from the much larger Corvallis Market, this gathering is full of variety and smiling faces. Booths stocked with anything from fresh breads, produce, mushrooms, beeswax, and hand-made tamales. Many vendors can give tips and tricks to keep the produce ripe for longer and fun recipes to try. Opening at 9am and closing for the weekend at 1pm, there is plenty of time to see all their is to offer. This event is no temporarily closed for the winter season soon, but will pick up when the weather permits.
