Monday Essentials: Pig Roast, Peach Jam At Decatur Farmers Market

For a full list of things to do, look at the Patch calendar of events.

Whole Pig Roast & Peach BBQ Sauce Competition. The Decatur Farmers Market will help celebrate Georgia’s favorite fruit  (duh, the peach) with a pig roast and peach BBQ sauce contest. Happens 5-7 p.m. Wednesday at the Decatur Farmers Market in the Bank of America parking lot at Church and Commerce. This is the first of four "Peach Jam" events sponsored by Slow Food Atlanta and Community Farmers Markets  June 26-30. Free admission.

Happy birthday, Brick Store. The pub on the Decatur Square will celebrate its 16th year of existence starting at 5 p.m. Tuesday. There will be 16 beers never tapped before at the pub, 16 dollar food features and … you get the idea.
