Friends of the Greenway Weekly Arts and Crafts Market
The Friends of the Greenway is initiating a weekly Arts and Crafts Market at FROG Quarters, 573 E. Main St. in Franklin. We still have vendor spaces available for our first market on Saturday, June 8. If you are looking for a venue to sell your items, we'd welcome your participation. Make inquiries or request a vendor registration form by contacting Frank at 371-7940 or fts3solarsmith@gmail.com or frog28734@gmail.com. For buyers looking to purchase from local artists and craftsmen, enjoy a Saturday stroll, purchase a snack and enjoying some music, plan to come between 9-3 pm.
Outlook
Isolated to scattered daytime showers and storms are expected through Sunday as a ridge of warm high pressure builds over the Southeast. Shower and thunderstorm coverage increases slightly Monday as a weak cold front approaches the region. Following the front, a stronger summerlike ridge of high pressure builds over the Deep South next week, resulting in very warm temperatures and limited rainfall through next Friday.
