ELKMONT MARKET CLOSED TOMORROW

The Elkmont Market will be open on the first Saturday of every month (next date, June 6) and it will also coincide with special events in town. Some examples are the BBQ cook-off, Running of the Goats, Hilltop Arts Festival, etc. 

REMINDER:
IT WON'T BE OPEN TOMORROW

DID YOU GO TO THE MARKET?

The Decatur Daily wrote a nice article

about our Elkmont Saturday Market Grand Opening  in last Sunday's paper.


Highlights:
Customers buzzed around the Elkmont Market on Saturday, browsing booths filled with art, baked goods, pottery, antiques and vintage goods.  Saturday was the market’s opening day. Chris Paysinger created the market, where he and 17 other artists can sell their creations. 

Paysinger said he arrived at 6:30 a.m. to start setting up his booth, and one man already was there to shop. Paysinger said it was a successful first day. “We’ve had tons of people, and there are great vendors,” Paysinger said Saturday. “Everyone is having a great time, and the weather is perfect.”

It will be open Saturday mornings through Christmas on Railroad Street, across from the caboose and the Martin Trail.  Opening day lasted until 4 p.m., but times for the remainder of the year are 8 a.m. until noon.

SOMETHING NEW IS COMING

You may have seen the  Birds Nest at the Elkmont Saturday Market last Saturday.  If you haven't met Josh and Ciera Carter, be sure to say hi this Saturday.  They are a lovely young couple with some sweet kiddos who will be opening the Birds Nest in the Kindred Spirits building, sometime between a month and two weeks. 

A FEW WORDS FROM CIERA:
Alrighty... 🙊 *NEWS * NEWS * NEWS* Josh and I have found a building and will be opening up our own store, THE BIRDS NEST,  with all of our vintage furniture, home decor, man cave items, and other local hand crafted items! I have prayed, dreamt, thought, prayed, thought, prayed, debated, worried, prayed some more, ect. about having my/our own business... And we have finally found the perfect building, perfect location (to us), perfect support group, perfect everything through our eyes to make everything happen. 
 

It is truly unbelievable and we are both so happy. We just had and still have to be patient, I know there will be trial and error, I know there will be slow days, I know it will be hard starting from the ground up but I know we have people watching over us and everything will just be fine! Thanks to everyone for believing in us, guiding us, and encouraging us to chase what we want. Nothing in life is given to you, if you want something then you have to go after it because it won't come to you on it's own!
