On Saturday, November 9, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Habersham County Fairgrounds is the Old Clarkesville Merry Market.
You will want to make plans to attend the event located at 4235 Toccoa Hwy, Clarkesville. Customer Parking will be on the Right side parking lot or baseball field side. Follow the signs. It is in the Pavilion and free to the public.
Decked out in Christmas decor, it is the perfect way to start the Christmas season. 110 local vendors will be selling unique gifts, home decor, local handmade crafts, and artisan foods are just some of the items available to purchase.
Live bluegrass, gospel, and Christmas music will play throughout the day, and the Hey Y’All Cloggers will entertain at 1 p.m. while you shop.
If you bring a new unwrapped toy, you will be entered to win a gift basket with items donated by the vendors.
Beth Palmer owns and operates the event. “I just love doing it. There is no better way to bring in the Christmas spirit. We have so many wonderful vendors. You can do all your shopping and be done.”
Palmer owns the Sutton Mill Creek Syrup Company, which is why she started the Old Clarkesville Merry Market three years ago. “I was visiting so many other markets and decided I would do it myself. It has been a lot of fun.”
The best part of the event, Santa will be on hand for photographs by appointment or walk-ups.
