It's hard to imagine that Eugene existed for more than 100 years without five of the organizations that now shape the town's identity.

Sunday, five of Eugene's most recognizable groups - The Saturday Market, the Oregon Country Fair, the Growers Market, the WOW Hall and White Bird Clinic - will celebrate 40 years of operation. A ceremony for the businesses will be held from noon to 8 p.m., with performers and food booths at the Park Blocks, the location where The Saturday Market has held court for more than 20 years.
