Rocky Top merchants will kick off the holiday shopping season with their second-annual Christmas Market Crawl event from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. this Saturday (Nov. 29), in the downtown area.

“Our town truly has so much to offer,” said Maria Hooks, co-owner of South Main Furniture and Mercantile.

“From unique home decor finds and locally crafted items to delicious food and specialty coffees, we have something for everyone,” she said.

Other downtown businesses and venues taking part in the event will include the Coal Creek Miners Museum; Grumpa Bear BBQ; In Its Time Antiques; Coal Creek General Store; Thrifty Treasures antiques and home décor; Coal Creek Coffee; and the new Lings Cafe, which opened recently next door to Coal Creek Coffee.

There also will be outside vendors who will set up tables in several locations, including the parking lot between South Main Furniture & Mercantile and Truest Bank, and several food trucks or trailers.

Santa Claus will be on hand to visit with children inside some of the stores, and visitors will get a treat at each business they visit.

Cards will be handed out to visitors, and each business will sign the cards for chances to win door prizes.

“Bring the whole family and make it a day to remember,” Hooks said.
