Shoppers were looking for the bargain and unusual items at the 2009 1st Monday Labor Day Event.
Crowds were brisk later on Saturday afternoon when the rain stopped.
Good food, friendship and deal making could be found at this 1st Monday Labor Day Event.
Antiques, knives, coins, books and historical curiosities from around the world may be found at at 1st Monday.
A very successful Labor Day 1st Monday. As one poster commented on one of my favorite forums, "Every First Monday should be like today. There was a time when it pretty much was." It can be very successful with a little positive effort and marketing. >
Rain on Saturday decreased the amount of patrons shopping but many carried umbrellas, browsing and shopping continued. Businesses around the square did very well during the rain showers. After the rain ceased business picked up considerably.

Art'n the Park also fared well. Huntsville Times article. http://www.al.com/news/huntsvilletimes/local.ssf?/base/news/125231490668370.xml&coll=1

Sunday and Monday's event was booming. 2500-3000 showed for Sunday with the same number for Monday. Many came from far away as Wisconsin, California, New York, Texas and the mid-western states. I also saw many local people and became reacquainted with old friends in which I had not seen in many years.

First Monday is an event which represents the Spirit of Scottsboro and must be supported by our local political leadership.

Many thanks to all the folks which show their support for 1st Monday events.
