Come out Oct. 18 for a day of tasting great Nash County sweet potatoes and stock up on bulbs! The Master Gardeners will be having their bulb sale! We will have fried sweet potatoes, muffins, and plenty of recipes. Thanksgiving is just around the corner - stock up for your thanksgiving feast. Sweet Potato Fast Facts: Very high in vitamin A, also high in vitamin C, and contain high levels of antioxidant's. Not only do sweet potatoes taste like dessert, they are good for you!
   November 1 will also be a very busy day. We will have our annual Antique Car and Truck Show! Drive your antique vehicle to the market, or come and enjoy the view. Have you gotten all your Christmas shopping done yet? Also on Nov. 1, we will have the Tar River Basketweavers! The basket ladies make beautiful baskets, which make an excellent gift. Their well made baskets last more than a lifetime and become a family heirloom to pass down.
