CANTON TRADE DAYS
MARCH 3 TO 7, 2011
What started more than a century ago as a flea market, has become home to some of the most exciting, cutting-edge home furnishings, antiques and collectibles that can be found anywhere. Over the past 150 years, lots of things have changed in the Original First Monday Park; but, the genuine, down-home human relationship between vendors and shoppers is the reason people keeping coming back. This is a place where you can slow down, visit and ask questions, talk to collectors and antique dealers, and meet the artists and craftsmen who create one-of-a kind items.
The world’s largest outdoor trade days takes place Thursday through Sunday before the first Monday of every month in Canton, Texas. Every month, thousands of vendors from across the country turn this friendly East Texas community into a shopper’s paradise where you can find the rare antiques and collectibles, furniture, fine home decor, arts and crafts, clothing, jewelry, tools, produce, and much more. Make plans now to come to Canton and enjoy the First Monday shopping experience.
Every time we feature First Monday this year we will give you some different information that you may need to make your shopping experience more enjoyable.
MRS. LEE’S DAFFODIL GARDEN
This is absolutely my favorite thing to do in February and March. You can picnic or just take thousands of pictures of the daffodils. It is really so cool. It usually opens Feb. 15 through March 15, but is VERY subject to the weather. Millions of golden daffodils scattered over approx. 28 acres. The garden, just outside Gladewater, is open seven days a week from 10 am to 4 pm.

Pierce Pettis-Live, Original Folk Concert
Saturday, March 19th, 2011 @ 7:00pm
Pierce Pettis, adored by both critics and public alike, is one of this generation’s most masterful songwriters. His music is distinguished by his uncanny ability to capture universals in human experience by drawing on the humor and trials in daily life.
Pettis’ music can simultaneously pull on our hearts and keep us laughing. The beautiful harmonies, inventive yet subtle percussion, strong guitar, and Pierce’s rich vocals are a constant throughout his body of work. “Pierce Pettis doesn’t write mere songs, he writes literature…End to end the songwriting is brilliant…” “Across the entire range of his styles, Pettis constantly reinforces the sensation that he is a thoughtful, sensitive, serious poet, a man who looks deep and ponders long.” CLICK BELOW TO ENJOY PIERCE
Pettis has performed in all 48 continental states as well as in Canada and Europe, appeared nine times on American Public Radio’s Mountain Stage, been featured on National Public Radio’s E-town, Morning Edition and World Cafe … appeared on VH-1, CBS News, and the Nashville Network. We’re thrilled to have him on The Old Firehouse stage! Cost is $12.00 in advance or $15.00 at the door.
