The weekend’s shaping up to be even better than we thought! Not only will Town Center Saturday return for its second of four downtown Brentwood street fairs, we’ve learned that the Forest Hill United Methodist Church Farmer’s Market will also take place.

There will be farmers at both venues with fresh veggies, fruits and flowers, but since each has its own personality and extras, consider hitting them both.

The Forest Hills’ Farmers Market, 1250 Old Hickory Boulevard, opens at 8 and runs until noon. Town Center Saturday, along Town Center Way to the roundabout in “downtown Brentwood,” had officially pushed its start back to 10 a.m. but several local media sites have advertised it at its old time, 9 a.m., so organizers are working hard to make sure most booths will be up and ready to open at that time.

Forest Hills’ Pastor Dr. Jim Hughes get his fresh cooked omelet from Joelle at Savor the Flavor at last Saturday's farmers market.

In addition to farm produce and products, visitors to FUMC will also find a freshly prepared breakfast and baked goods for sale under the huge oak tree that shades the market area.  Cash and checks are accepted by vendors, who all make food to Second Harvest Food Bank as their own “payment” for participation.

Participating growers and sellers include Savor the Flavor, Roast Inc., Devlin Farms, Franklin; Howell Farms, Nashville; Sun Fresh Farms, Lebanon; Mabuchi Nature Farm, Franklin; Riversong Farm, Nunnely; Red River Farm; Nature's Promise Farm, Chapmansboro; Anne's Cakes, Nashville; Papa C's Pies, Brentwood; Gourmet Dog Treats by Daisy’s Delicacies, Brentwood

Downtown, CPA Bob Bellenfant will host a special Cruise-In event for antique and collectible cars in the parking lot of his Wilson Pike Circle accounting firm that’s located near the roundabout.

Among the Town Center Saturday  vendors participating this Saturday are Skin Bar and the Perch, Adelia Gourmet, Baya Designs, Music City Suds, Mack and Kates, Steven Graham, Jeffersons, HEAL Ministries, Bear Creek Farms, CFC BBQ, 43 Pears, Bari Jacobs, Amber Wallace, Ace, Meadow Branch, Ordinary Hero, Boutique Burger Bar, Joe's Trading Co., Angie Miller, and the Snooty Fox.

There will also be children’s activities, music and entertainment, and, of course, the farm market.

With a forecast in the 90s, coats shouldn't be needed at this Town Center Saturday

Beginning at 7 p.m., Brentwood Police will close Town Center Way just east of Pewitt Drive and just west of the roundabout, and Wilson Pike Circle just to the north and south of the roundabout. The roads will be closed until 4 p.m.

Volunteers will be directing visitors to available parking at lots along Frierson, Franklin and Pewitt Roads.

Growers have been asked to donate portions of their fresh produce each week to Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee.
