It’s going to be a busy weekend with multiple events planned for Saturday, May 6.

Grist State Park will be putting on the event to help raise money for the upkeep of the park, as well as get people out to enjoy everything the park has to offer.

“We almost lost the park a year and a half ago, and one of the missions of the Friends of Paul M. Grist State Park is to get the word out about the park so the public will know that it’s out there and they can come and enjoy it,” said Friends volunteer Anita Ellison. “I’m just in awe of how supportive the public is of this event. We are getting very excited.”

Ellison said they have 76 vendors signed up, including food vendors, vinyl monograms, furniture, clothing, quilts, painted saw blades, jewelry and a lot more.

“We have events like this so people can come out and enjoy it, not just on a day to day basis but see what all the potentials are out there,” Ellison said.

There will be various vendors and activities for children.

Ellison said they will also be giving out door prizes for those that stop by the Friends booth.

Entry is $5 per person and kids 5 and under are free. Anyone interested in participating as a vendor should contact Anita Ellison by Facebook messenger or by calling (334) 419-3271.
