Construction at Athens State University will block a portion of the parking lot on the east side of Beasley Field during the annual Tennessee Valley Old Time Fiddlers Convention.
Parking is available in lots of First Baptist Church and First Methodist Church’s Beasley Center.
In addition, Athens City lots on the corner of Hobbs and Monroe, and Bryan and Marion will be open for parking. The City Hall annex lot on the corner of Market and Clinton streets will be open, as well as the Chasteen Hall lot on the corner of Hobbs and Clinton. The university also has parking at the softball field a few blocks north of campus on Elkton Street.
“Fiddlers weekend draws thousands of spectators each year and we try to make their ease of attendance a priority,” said Rick Mould, vice president of university relations. “Although we regret any inconvenience our current construction projects may cause, parking should not be a problem thanks to the alternatives offered by our neighboring churches and the city.”
