Weekend packed with things to do

Clayton’s busy season rolls into high gear this Mothers’ Day weekend with sales, markets and music starting Saturday morning and continuing non-stop through the weekend.

Gardeners will gather early at Endeavor Hall when the Clayton Valley Garden Club annual plant sale opens at 8 a.m. Members have been propagating plants all season for this annual fundraiser which runs until 1 p.m.

An hour later at 9 a.m. the Clayton Farmer’s Market opens at the east end of Main Street with more vendors and a full slate of activities See story on page 1 for a full preview of this year’s market.

Later in the afternoon, bibliophiles can feed their habit at the Clayton Library Foundation annual used book sale from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Clayton Library. Most books are only $1. Kids books just 50 cents. On Sunday from noon until 4 everything is half price, and after 2:30 p.m. you can fill a large cloth bag for just $5. This is the Foundation’s major fundraiser with proceeds going to the library for new books, materials and supplies.

After filling your garden, larder and library, get your music on with the summer’s first Concert in The Grove. ‘Rockin’ Down the Hiway’ will kick off this year’ with their all-hits, road-themed show at 6:30. Stake out your territory and set up your chairs, but wait until after 4 p.m. See page 3 for the full season schedule.
