Only 5 more Saturdays in Saxapahaw left this year!
The summerlong three ring community celebration ends at the end of August for the season (and then we wait till Oktoberfest October 20th.)
And every week we have another great band coming to play on the Haywagon Stage! This week it's -

Memphis the Band!
Here's some of the reviews of this beloved group:

Like Mint Juleps you can only find the best music in the Southland and Memphis the Band is some of the best the south has to offer.

The rough-hewn soul side of roots rock.

What do you get when you mix heroes of Chapel Hill Rock, Southern charm and big old American cars? Memphis the Band.

There are times in your life when you discover a good book, a good bartender, or a good jukebox and you feel lucky for your good fortune. Add Memphis the Band to that list,

This is beautiful stuff in all its ragged, raise-your-glass glory! Don't Miss Them!

At the Farmers' Market, Lots of ready-to-eat delicious goods and we've got Locally Lovingly Produced Wine from Benjamin Vineyards-and now we have Fish! Shrimp, Scallops Salmon and Mussels from The Shrimp Man - Flowers- Honey-, Fresh Grilled Corn, 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 toys and crafts for kids, pottery, jewelry, wooden toys, birdhouses and furniture.

In the Kid's Area CERES sets 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 laughing it up! Children's Activities made possible by www.Bioallies.com
