You have five Saturdays left this year to support our local farmers who load up their late-seasonal goods in their trucks. There will be a lot going on this Saturday on the south side, so the Market suggests that you come there early to secure a parking spot, then walk down the street and give RiverArtsFest a visit, then walk to the river for the opening of Big River Crossing in the afternoon. Live music by Steve Schad 8:30-10, Bashville 10-11, and Bud Summers 11-12:30. The Market happens under the pavilion at Front and G.E. Patterson every Saturday through November 19 from 7 AM to 1 PM.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sweetlalas.com\/\">Sweet LaLa&#8217;s Bakery<\/a> is having a pop-up shop at 101 S.
