This weekend in Auburn, AL

UFA Road to Auburn is a fencing tournament at the Auburn University Recreation and Wellness Center featuring D & Under Mixed Epee first, followed by Open Mixed Epee. Free parking is available across from the facility or in the Coliseum lot to the south. Participation requires a $20 registration fee plus $20 for each event, payable in cash or via Venmo. Members of collegiate clubs that supply at least one scoring machine set receive a $5 discount on the registration fee, and A or B rated fencers have no entry fees. An active USA Fencing membership is required for all competitors. Masks and gloves will be inspected prior to fencing. Late registrations, if space permits, incur an additional $10. A waiver is mandatory for all athletes, with both a general version and an under-18 version to be posted. Details may be updated.

A first Saturday market opens the farm to the public for a friendly marketplace where people sell what they grow and create. Find fruit and vegetables, baked treats, crafts, antiques, and other one of a kind items. Visitors can also spend time with the ponies and browse a thrift store located in the barn.

All skill levels are welcome for a laid-back, social mountain bike ride at Chewacla State Park. Routes are chosen on the spot based on who shows up, and riders usually split into groups so everyone can move at a comfortable pace, from easygoing cruisers to those seeking faster flow. Options include the CAMP trail at about one mile that returns to the lot and the CCC trail at about three miles that also returns to the lot. Look for the group in the second lot. The ride is free, and Chewacla State Park entrance fees apply. Prior and current military with ID receive free entry. Individuals ages 12 to 61 are $5 per person. Children ages 4 to 11 are $3 per person. Seniors 62 and up are $3 per person.
