Due to construction at the school it is at the 1st Baptist Fellowship Hall is $5 and is from 5am to 11 am. If you go to this go to this I recommend getting there right before 9am eat breakfast walk around (there is usually lots of free stuff) watch the parade then go to St. Mountain. I recommend packing a picnic lunch. or bring burgers/hotdogs to grill.

It is suppose to be the first Saturday of this great farmers market. I know there is construction going on and their website say that it will open in May. Not 100% it will be open from the look of the website. I also tried to call, but no answer.
The Market is open Saturday morning from 9 am to 12 pm. 
ok so here are couple of things I missed.
