From Summerville to Lyerly, today, area residents will have a diverse slate of activities to choose from, cementing the day as a major community triple-header.

Summerville Steps Back in Time

The primary draw for many will be the Summerville Mini Renaissance Festival, running throughout the day at the historic Summerville Depot.

The festival promises a vibrant atmosphere complete with costumed performers, live entertainment, hands-on games, and displays by local artisans. It offers a family-friendly glimpse into a bygone era right in the heart of the community.

A special feature of the Renaissance Festival is the scheduled arrival of a visiting steam engine from the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum, which is expected to pull into the Depot gates at 1:00 PM sharp, offering a unique blend of historical transport and fantasy fun.

Lyerly Celebrates Down Home Day

While Summerville is looking toward the Middle Ages, the community of Lyerly will be focusing on local tradition and heritage with the Annual Down Home Day.

Held at Angus McLeod Park, the event runs from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM and is designed as a celebration of the Lyerly community spirit. Families can enjoy local vendors, traditional food, and a range of activities suitable for all ages. The event aims to highlight the rich history and close-knit nature of the area.

Last Chance for Library Book Bargains

For readers and media enthusiasts, the third major attraction of the day is the Chattooga County Public Library Book Sale.

The library sale, which features a wide array of used books, DVDs, and other media, concludes today, making Saturday the final opportunity for residents to grab discounted reads and support a vital cause. All proceeds from the sale go directly towards supporting the library’s essential programs and expansion efforts. Residents are encouraged to visit early for the best selection of materials.
