📢 I'm looking for business owners and marketers in Alpharetta-Milton who want to build awareness, connect with customers and increase sales.

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our readers to local businesses they need to know. If that's you, then I invite you to learn more and secure your spot now.

Here are the top stories today in Alpharetta-Milton:

1. Spring is here and the Milton Farmers Market will be opening next month! Starting this year, it will take place on Saturday instead of Wednesday, to make it easier to stop by.

It will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. If you're interested in being a vendor, email Judy Hall at miltonmarket@comcast.net. (Appen)
2. Mark your calendars for Concert on the Green, located at Crabapple Market on Saturday, April 22nd. It starts at 6:00 p.m. and the music will be by Nashville Yacht Club Band plus Manly Hero.
