Show
October

If
you’re considering a new show for 2009, take a look at
Williams Station Day in Atmore, Alabama. This show continues to attract
crowds
from the Pensacola, Mobile and Baldwin County markets which are less
than an
hour away. Visitors enjoy the relaxed
atmosphere of a small town. However,
don’t let this small town show fool you, standards are high with
coordinators
committed to maintaining a quality event that is artist friendly. Set up is easy and parking close by. This event is promoted regionally with
billboards and brochures.
Join
us in Atmore, Alabama on Saturday, October 24, for Williams
Station Day. This celebration of
Atmore’s past reaches back to 1866 when the community named Williams
Station,
was a supply stop along the Mobile & Great Northern Railroad. In 1897 the town was renamed Atmore to honor
C.P. Atmore, General Passenger Agent for the L & N Railroad in
Louisville,
Kentucky.
The
majority of the day’s events will be centered around
the YMCA/Community Center on Pensacola Avenue.
This 1926 Georgian building provides a beautiful backdrop for
events
which include a juried art show, a craft show, a Fiddler’s tent and
Storytelling tent. From blues to old
time gospel, entertainment on the Center Stage is sure to appeal to
every
taste.
