Celebrate 150 years of First Monday Trade Days

"The city of Canton is celebrating the 150th birthday of First Monday Trade Days. First Monday began as a day for locals to trade goods and animals, and do some shopping in town,” says Mayor, Lou Ann Everett. “It has grown to become a large source of income for the entire county, and even beyond. This event’s success is a testament to the people who have attended, worked at and profited from its long time existence. It has been a financial blessing to our community and I look forward to many more Trade Days."
