Saxapahaw Rivermill Farmers' Market, Music Series and Kid's Events This 
Saturday July 15th

It's FINALLY HERE!!!   The Barbecue Joint is set to join us this 
weekend and for the rest of the summer  - they'll have a variety of 
offerings each week including a vegetarian dish, great Barbecue and 
Catfish sandwiches, Gumbo and more the menus will change a little 
weekly and we'll try to get a forecast of what they'll offer for the 
hungry picnicers each week. This week Barbecue and Catfish Sandwiches 
and Vegan Corn & Beef Salad!

 The Brown Mountain Lights play at this week's Saxapahaw Rivermill 
Farmers' Market & Music Series.   Brilliant Americana-infused straight 
down the line alt-country. Janet Place's voice, reminiscent of a 
huskier Patsy Cline drips with country hard luck and hard-won wisdom 
with rich harmonies, back porch-styled strumming and picking, all 
tempered with their deep sensibility of the common ground between old 
time music, straight country and melodic pop.  A celebration of rootsy, 
twangy music and beautifully blended vocals. The Brown Mountain Lights 
are a huge favorite in the area.  www.ipass.net/jhart/bml.htm  for 
pictures, bios and more. Bands play from 6-8 COME ON OUT!
