NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — It's looking like the perfect weekend to maybe find something to do inside, and if you are looking for a way to escape the heat, we have an idea for you!

The Fairgrounds is hosting Markets for Makers both Saturday and Sunday. It's got plenty of A-C and unique handmade items.

The bonus: the vast majority of artisans hail from the midstate!

NewsChannel 5's Carrie Sharp paid a visit to the Fairgrounds today to check out the market. That's where she talked to Cherie Riley about what kinds of products folks can expect at this year's event.

"You will see a wide variety of things, so we will have everything from pet supplies, body care, perfume, jewelry, hot sauces, different prints and artists."

The event runs both days from 11:AM - 5:00 PM in Expo 3.

It's best to get tickets online. You can do that here.

Hermitage clinic for disabled patients set to close, cites loss of funding

I'm so thankful Robb Coles highlighted the Kamer Davis clinic in Hermitage and the hardship that may force its closure. The clinic provides care for patients with intellectual and developmental disabilities and there is no other place like it nearby. You can tell the staff is so passionate about the care they provide. I hope by shining the light on this, the right person can step in and make a difference.
