  Let's Go Shopping  Historic Pensacola Avenue is the setting for two separate art shows, both fine arts and crafts. Step up close and observe the trades and traditions of your ancestors as artisans demonstrate. Pottery, fine art, primitive art, painted gourds, soap making, bird houses, baskets, and photography - Williams Station Day is a great place to purchase those early Christmas gifts. Fiddle Me A Tune  The most valued possession of many a settler in the 1800's was a fiddle. Join us for an all day jam session featuring some of the regions best musicians. From waltzes to hoedowns, these musicians will impress you with their talent. The Old Time Fiddlers' Tent is proudly sponsored by First National Bank & Trust of Atmore and The Atmore Advance. Tell Me A Story Since people began to communicate with each other, "tell me a story" has been a request of both children and adults. This year's Storytelling Tent Sponsors, Alabama Power Company, Alto Products Corp., and Royal Oaks Bed & Breakfast, are proud to present two regional tellers. Deloris Gibson, "The Barefooted Poet", was born in Mobile County. She has entertained audiences of all ages. Gibson's soothing style of storytelling fills the stage with a swirl of characters that seem to come to life.  Joseph Trimble is a known storyteller around Montgomery and surrounding areas. Joseph uses animated movements, voices, a touch of magic, a dash of music, and dynamic characters to create a world of imagination. Climb Aboard A Giant Locomotive  What would
a fall heritage event
be without an old time Cane Mill? Montgomery the horse will be
squeezing cane and real cane syrup will be available at Kyser Kountry Store. Children of
all ages will enjoy the Model Train Show located inside the YMCA. For Thomas fans, catch
the hayride to the Craig Street crossing where a working locomotive
provided by AL & Gulfcoast Railroad
will be parked. What child would not want to climb aboard this
giant locomotive, sit in the engineer's seat, and sound the whistle?
ALL ABOARD...... FESTIVE FOOD There will be
lots of choices from many vendors on the street!
