This month, we're also excited to welcome Mindful Grooves, a free community dance experience led by Nichole Webb. Whether you're an experienced dancer or just looking to move and have fun, everyone is welcome. Times will be announced soon so stay tuned for details.

October's market day will also feature our first-ever Cryptid Pickleball Tournament, where players will take the courts dressed as their favorite Appalachian cryptids. Huntington's own Hoot & Holler community marching band will be there to cheer on the players and bring plenty of energy to the event. More details and registration information for the tournament will be announced soon.
