Davidson Farmer’s Market officials and supporters and local art lovers will gather Saturday afternoon in downtown Davidson to dedicate artist Dave Merck’s newly completed market-theme mural.

Mr. Merck was out sipping coffee and completing a few last-minute touch-ups on Friday, in preparation for Saturday’s 12:30 p.m.  dedication. The mural is on the south exterior wall of Summit Coffee, 128 S. Main St.

The dedication follows Saturday’s weekly Davidson Farmer’s Market, which runs from 8 a.m. to noon on the market ground behind Summit Coffee and next to Town Hall.
