● Trade Day, a giant flea market, or "picker's paradise," located just outside downtown Summerville. It's been a beloved Chattooga County staple since 1976. Get an early start at 7 am, grab a corndog, and find your own Trade Day score! (7 am - 12 pm) ● Two one-of-a-kind art environments – Howard Finster's historic 4-acre art environment Paradise Garden in Summerville (10 am – 5 pm) and The Rock Garden in Calhoun, which features more than 50 diminutive buildings and historic landmarks built in miniature, and nestled behind the Seventh Day Adventist Church. (9 am - dark) ● Two Summerville galleries perfect for collectors – Folk America Gallery, a must-see for folk art collectors, and Finster Picture Framing, a frame shop/gallery owned and operated by Howard Finster's daughter and granddaughter. (10 am - 5 pm) ● Take a break to grab lunch on the patio at Jefferson's, or grab a refreshing smoothie or coffee from Dirt Pour, located downtown in Dirt Design and Decor. (11 am - 8 pm) ● Head a half an hour down the road to Rome, GA, for an afternoon folk angel craft-making activity at Cecil T's Mercantile with Sherry Cook of Noonan, GA, and shopping (11 am - 8 pm). ● Conclude the Outsider Art Trail at Kingfisher Art Co. for the closing reception for the exhibit, "Fine Folk & Americana" featuring the artwork of Jim Shores, Dereck Van Wickel, and works from private collections. Open from 12-7 pm, the Gallery will also host free artmaking activities, a cash bar, and live music from 4-7 pm.
