Hey Chris! I think the location was entered wrong for this event. When I went to the event site it shows that it is actually in Georgia, about 50 miles east of Chattanooga. I think it is pretty close to you.

On the Union County Farmers Market website I found this link:

http://www.localharvest.org/event.jsp?id=61408

When I opened the link I found this -

"Sorry, that event does not exist!"

So maybe they were unable to get the event off the ground. I hope someone is able to figure this out.

I have a very late fruit so I find a late contest of particular interest this year.
