Saxapahaw Rivermill Farmers' Market, Music Series and Children's  
Activities This Saturday in Saxapahaw!

We only have two more Saturdays this season so don't miss the fun!   
Grab your picnic blanket and bathing suits for the kids and come on  
along!  We've got great music - delicious fresh food and produce -  
arts and crafts and the most fun for kids all in a beautiful safe and  
friendly setting by the Haw River in Historic Saxapahaw.   It's a  
happy healthy three ring circus with something for everyone to enjoy.

MUSIC -this week the thought-provoking, smile-inducing Mad Tea Party  
is in town!  A favorite at Shakori Hills with an edgy-sweet retro  
sound and refreshingly imaginative modernized-yet-old-school folk  
music. Their harmonizing vocals highlight wickedly clever commentary  
on love, life, death and the music business. Because of their unique  
blend of influences and unorthodox song-writing, Mad Tea Party often  
find themselves in-between genres. They incorporate old-time jazz and  
early string band styles, as well as psychedelia and vintage rock ‘n’  
roll. Their offbeat sense of humor and irony appeals to savvy  
listeners who appreciate the band’s cleverness and cheerful energy.   
Mad Tea Party’s amusing and sharp approach to an evolved brand of  
folk music makes them one-of-a-kind. The exotic harping of the  
ukulele, the familiar guitar and the plucking bass will transport  
audiences to a different time and place –
