November's Second Saturday street festival and Words and Voices live entertainment series should offer a great opportunity for area residents and visitors to get some early holiday shopping done while having a good time, organizers said.

Slated to begin early this Saturday, vendors will display and sell their wares and provide unique art, handmade goodies and other merchandise. It will all be done along North Washington Avenue in downtown Marshall, according to Shawne Somerford, one of the organizers.
