The Stephenville Farmers Market will also be taking place at the plaza downtown from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
KayLee Pemberton, the owner of Blue-Eyed Buffalo, who helps organize the event, talked more in-depth about the market.
Pemberton said, “This event includes all of the downtown business and some of the shops will be having deals throughout the day.”
Pemberton also mentioned that the year before last, the event was called Margarita Madness where the businesses would give out drinks to people while they shopped.
“We have been hosting events like this for about three years now and have had different things every year. Last year we were unable to do this due to COVID-19,” Pemberton said.
