Visit to Camas Farmers Market yields treasuSubscriber Exclusive

To Leah Nichelson, downtown Camas was once a place people passed through, not a destination. She remembers being dropped off at the Liberty Theatre as a child to see a movie, then heading home past boarded-up storefronts and mostly empty sidewalks.
