Saxapahaw Rivermill Farmers' Market & Music Series -
Saturdays in Saxaphaw - June 30th, 2007 Market 5-8 pm Music 6-8pm

This week it's THE JONATHAN BYRD BAND!
"Jonathan's delightful, substantive songs are rich with imagery and textures of influences from Appalachian, country, early American balladry, modern atmospheric Mideastern, urban and old timey folk music. A stalwart of modern folk music, Jonathan is constantly evolving in new musical directions and each incarnation has proven to be masterful."

"This rootsy North Carolinian may be the most buzzed-about new songwriter in folkdom. He displays John Prine's gift for stark little songs that tell big, complex stories, Guy Clark's lean melodicism, Lyle Lovett's wry mischief, and Bill Morrissey's knack for the revealing image." - Scott Alarik, Boston Globe


"I thought I was listening to a young Doc Watson."
- Jay Moulon, Southeast Performer Magazine -


The Farmers' Market, Eco-Farm has joined in with great produce and ready-to-eat delicious goods like vegetarian "meat" balls, bean salad, potato salad, hummus and bread, garlic dip and bread, peanut butter and honey sandwiches, rice pudding. We've got strawberries, heirloom pork, cheese, foccacia, cookies, breads, and treats, eggs, fresh veggies and produce and delicious jellies, chutneys, honey and more! The Barbecue Joint has set up shop and will be with us EVERY WEEK this summer selling a wide variety of dinners including vegetarian options AND this year we have a growing artisan market with beautiful handcrafted items including pottery, jewelry, wooden toys, birdhouses and furniture.


AND THE RIDES ARE BACK!! CERES has returned from their well deserved week off and will be setting up exciting events and activities for children including the Famous Zipboat ( a kayak on a zipline - low to the ground) the Environmentally Engineered Slip-N-Slide, created in the shape of the Haw River this year complete with tributaries, a new children's musical village, face painting, children's arts & crafts. The weekly kid's parade is just wonderful as the kids travel across the hills humming tunes and giggling! Children's Activities made possible by www.Bioallies.com


Festivities take place in central Saxapahaw next to the Post Office and across from the Saxapahaw Rivermill every Saturday from 5pm-8pm through the end of August. Admission is free though donations are appreciated, organizers pass around a "Swan Bucket" each week for the band.

The series is sponsored by the Saxapahaw Rivermill and by local businesses including Anderson Homes' Haw Village, Open Eye Cafe, Fifth Season Gardening, Townsend Bertram and The Barbecue Joint.
