Yesterday, we went to our first Saturdays in Saxapahaw. It’s an interesting idea; combine the Saturday farmer’s market with some live music, food, and stuff for kids to do. Instead of holding the farmer’s market on a Saturday morning, it all goes on in the early evening from 5pm to 8pm. We decided to check it out and had a lot of fun.
There are a handful of farmers selling local produce, a few other merchants, a truck from the BBQ Joint in Chapel Hill, and a small stage where local musicians play catchy tunes with lyrics aimed at kids. While our son is still a little young to take advantage of the water slide or the puppet parade, he did enjoy watching the people, eating my wife’s catfish sandwich, and playing with the bubbles.
I suspect we’ll go again, next time armed with a few more supplies and a picnic basket.
The only drawback is that those cultist Hoopers from Carrboro showed up and blocked walkways with their idiotic and over-priced hula hoops.
