I'm in town only a few months before heading back to the other side of the planet to continue my year of adventure, but the timing couldn't be better to be in Chattanooga. There's something fun on tap every weekend between now and "then," and weekdays offer their reasons to love being here.
This weekend two of my favorite events take place; I plan to be at both–
Chatty Crafty is a local juried DIY/indie craft show taking place at the Chattanooga Green at Ross’s Landing today and tomorrow (April 21 & 22, 2012) from 10-6. I'm hoping the rain steers clear.
And on Sunday only, guess who kicks off their 2012 season?
Chattanooga Market is back! In celebration of Earth Day, Freedom Tree Farms will be giving away 100 fruit tree saplings and Possum Creek Herb Farm will offer 100 herb plants to market goers. Music and vendors and great food, oh my!
Being away from Chattanooga for a few months made me appreciate it even more; who knew that absence would make my heart grow fonder for this place I call home?
Your turn: Spring is a season when communities seem to offer festivals and events that define "who" they are. Tell me something special or unique about your hometown and why I might want to visit someday!
And then there's that …. ~ wink ~
I have a long list of reasons you should come visit me, but one thing I love is our town’s French Market. Every Saturday. I love to walk downtown (only about 8 blocks), grab a Starbucks, and peruse the French Market for the morning. Lovely.
Oh, and there’s this little city on a beautiful lake not too far from here. I think you visited it a couple of years ago?? 🙂
