“Our community needs this,” Calera Main Street Executive Director, Jackie Batson said. “There are very few activities that families can get outside and enjoy. Calera Main Street hopes to provide many reasons for our neighbors to come downtown. We realize the summer growing season is almost over, but that is not stopping us! We will have a mix of growers offering fresh fruits and vegetables, handmade soaps and lotions, peanut butter, lemonade, baked goods, folk art, and other handmade items which should provide a fun variety.”
