The Saturday Market Will Be Open on July 4

Vintage Base Ball at the Market June 27

If you are a baseball fan or a history buff, then you'll want to see the Stones River Scouts vintage base ball team at the market this Saturday. They play by 1864 rules as part of the Tennessee Association of Vintage Base Ball, and their home games and special exhibitions are held at Oaklands Mansion.
The Association promotes living history by bringing the 19th century to life through base ball events that use the rules, equipment, costumes and culture of the 1860s. They provide cultural enrichment and education programs and activities to youth and adults that emphasize honor, team play, respectful conduct and community pride. Their goal is to encourage a sense of belonging regardless of race, gender, religious conviction or physical ability.The league hosts games at historic venues across the state with free admission and teams are inclusive for men and women of any age, showcasing the history of America's Pastime by playing the game by its original rules encouraging "fair and gentlemanly" conduct and allowing fans to engage with living history through sport. Even the historically-accurate bats used by most of the players and teams in our league are crafted by Murfreesboro-based company Smacker Bats. And yes, the word baseball, in this context is spelled as base ball!

Stop Litter in Rutherford County

The TDOT Litter Awareness Program, coordinated by Rutherford County Government, will have an information table at the market this Saturday. The program encourages people not to litter and to keep Tennessee beautiful. Since 1981, funding collected from Tennessee’s Soft Drink and Malt Beverage industries have been put to work by TDOT towards programs that reduce the number of items on roadsides and prevent littering behavior in communities across the state. Grants have established litter pickup programs and provided litter prevention and recycling education at the local level. Today, Litter Grants improve communities in all 95 Tennessee counties and directly touch thousands of Tennesseans each year through volunteerism and educational programming.
