Downtown Farmers Market Wraps Its Season Tomorrow Morning
De Armanville, AL · September 25, 2026
Overcast skies are keeping temperatures comfortable this morning, right as the Friday whistle sets up a busy night of youth dances and stadium lights. You will want an easy dinner plan before the valley rolls into a packed weekend.
The Lead
Saturday marks the seasonal finale for the downtown market on 11th Street, closing out five months of Saturday morning gatherings that brought regional produce, honey, and local growers to the covered pavilions since early May. The final bell rings at 11:00 AM tomorrow, giving valley cooks one last shot at peak late-summer harvests before vendors clear their stalls for the winter months. Across town, the weekend slate branches out quickly, from tonight’s city-sponsored youth dance at the meeting center to an animal tracking workshop tomorrow afternoon at the museum of natural history. Looking just ahead to the coming workweek, seats are also filling fast for the Vitamin String Quartet's upcoming tour stop down on Choccolocco Street. Whether you are hunting fresh field peas or reserving stage seats, the weekend calendar makes the most of early autumn.

Spotlight & Story
- The 1873 DeArmersville Post Office
- When the postal service established an office here in 1873, federal clerks officially logged the community as "DeArmersville." Settlers Hudson H. Allen and the DeArman family eventually convinced authorities to fix the spelling in 1878, matching their railroad stock certificates.
