Many a Cashmere resident is familiar with the famous man named Tiny who ran a very successful roadside fruit stand in Cashmere decades ago.
In the summers, Tiny enjoyed swimming in the irrigation canals with his dogs to cool off after a long day at his store. He would float down the canal while he washed his hair and bathed his body in the cool water.
During these swimming excursions, Tiny struck up a friendship with another water-loving being, Skylar the gnome. Most gnomes do not know how to swim, or if they do, they swim upside down, but Tiny decided that that just wouldn’t do for Skylar and he insisted on teaching him. Tiny was very patient as he taught Skylar to relax and resist his natural urges to get out of the water or fight the currents.
A wonderful friendship ensued and Skylar eventually went into the grocery business like his hero, Tiny, and opened his own Gnome produce stand near Tiny’s. To this day, Skylar misses his larger-than-life friend Tiny and he endeavors to keep the best of Tiny’s spirit alive with his Independent Gnome Grocers Alliance (IGGA) which he now locates at his new friend’s store, Martin’s Market.
