The market music will begin at 9 a.m. with the Dulcimer Band and continue at 10 a.m. with the Pea Ridge Senior Singers. Fresh eggs, honey, produce, sourdough bread and specialty soaps and candles are just some of the items available Saturday morning.

The Artwalk on Main Street will include refreshments, live music and art everywhere to make this a special evening in town.  Parnell Memorial Library, Napier Hall on the UM campus, Blue Phrog Gallery, International Art Gallery, and places in between will open their doors to visitors.

Art demonstrations will include printmaking at Stranded Art and chainsaw sculpture at Eclipse Coffee and Books. Pianos will be outside at Lula B’s and DC Wireless, and anyone can play.
