A day of health and music will be held at the Lenoir County Farmers Market Saturday.

Curtis Media Group has teamed up with UNC Lenoir Health Care for its inaugural Homegrown Festival, which lasts from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. The focus of the event is on healthy living choices and while the event is free, vendors will have items for sale.

There will also be live music, with Kinston blues artist Cliff Grant and New Bern country singer Bryan Mayer performing simultaneously throughout.

”We thought this would be a great way to give back to the community and enhance the Farmer’s Market,” Curtis Media Group’s Raine Tyndall said. “This also allows people to see what we have to offer — a lot of them don’t know they can pick up things such as honey, fresh flowers and homemade soap here besides the produce.

“The hospital will also have a demonstration, encouraging healthy living and trying to promote it.”
