We welcome you to join us for live performances by: 9AM Georgia Rae Family Band, 10AM Jeff Justman, 11AM Tricia Alexander.

It is going to be a scorcher on Saturday so we remind you to please stay hydrated as you walk the Square. The center of the Square has plenty of shade from the trees and is a good place to come to cool off a bit while you shop.
