Saturday

• Athens Farmers' Market. Come celebrate treasures that are uniquely ours. Our food grown in our soil by our farmers. Our crafts made in our homes by our artists. Our music, our merriment, and our memories. This week's music lineup: Leralynn, and the Athens Folk Society Band.

The meet will be held at Skate-A-Round USA at 7 p.m. Tickets are $10 for adults & $5 for kids. A portion of the proceeds will help support Hands On Northeast Georgia. Then join the Rollergirls for the after-party at Kingpins.
