Want to try T'ai Chi?
Starkville Martial Arts (located on South Lafayette Street) has a 9:00 AM T'ai Chi class on Saturday that welcomes walk-ins. Nothing wrong with buying some tomatoes, a homemade loaf of bread, a new oil on canvas to put over the mantle, listening to a local banjo picker, and rejuvenating one's self with T'ai Chi all within one (1) city block in downtown Starkville.

Like the song on the commercial?
It is Starkville native Neil Couvillion and you can listen to more of his music on his MySpace Page. Neil will be playing at the market this weekend (July 26th) from 9-10 AM.

Like to join in the singing?
