That Davidson Farmer’s Market mural is emerging from the bricks on the south side of Summit Coffee, 128 S. Main St., in downtown Davidson. Artist Dave Merck is out there most days working on the market-themed wall painting, which will show a bicycle in front of a farmer’s market tent surrounded by produce, flowers and musical instruments. He’ll be out there again during Saturday’s market, from 8 a.m. to noon.
Also, a reminder: A dedication ceremony is planned Saturday at 3:30 p.m. for the Davidson Book Garden, across South Main Street between the Davidson library branch and the CVS pharmacy. The ceremony is open to the public and will include a visit from Curious George, courtesy of Main Street Books, and Dudley the dog, courtesy of the Davidson Public Library. Teens and tweens will receive free copies of “The Hunger Games,” donated by Scholastic Books, while supplies last. And the Wells Fargo Foundation is providing stagecoach rides from the library’s parking lot.
