Tuesday is the last “Renegade Market” at WBCH/BHM: next week is the grand opening of the 2008 market season! You’ll find some great plants to jump start your garden from Bill Heath, Perenial Pleasures Pharm has had her beautiful and wonderfully aromatic lilacs and peonies, and this week welcome Amy’s Organic Garden and Victory Farms back to the market. 3:30-7PM rain or shine.
Yes, it’s another April showers day! And our “Renegade Market” vendors will be selling their goods and wares. We know these showers will soon bring happy produce and May flowers! Tuesday 3:30-7 p.m. We love that you spend your Tuesday afternoons with us.
Come and celebrate our BHM Appalachia Spring Family Festival on Saturday, April 12.
Our new spring festival brings both familiar and unexplored opportunities for family fun in honor of a new season, the Byrd House Market hosts the Appalachian Spring Family Festival, a care-free and inspired day of getting outside to celebrate the creative opportunities blossoming all around. This Saturday, April 12.
Nearly two dozen vendors, farmers, artists, food vendors and craftsmen will showcase the best of Virginia’s bounty and celebrate the return of long days and sunny skies. An event for the young and old alike, the festival has something for everyone to enjoy. Shop for fresh produce, explore local traditions, or bring an instrument and join the live music. You can even decorate a bird house to take home.
Highlighting the state’s diverse cultural history, the Center for African American Genealogical Research will provide opportunities to trace your family heritage, and folk artist Anndrena Belcher will share traditional Appalachian storytelling, music, art and dance.
“Anndrena is one of our secret national treasures. More than ever is her gift as a storyteller needed today. We may have lost our tribal memory, at least for the moment. It is an artist like Anndrena Belcher who can help us recapture it.”
