Camden held its final First Friday Market for the 2024 year on Friday, November 1.

The turn out to this First Friday Market was smaller than expected with organizers reporting that several people had cancelled.

Despite the cancellations, there were still plenty of booths for attendees to explore.

Booths were set up by local artisans, churches, the Girl Scouts and SAU Tech. OCAPS also brought out their adoptable puppies.

There was also live music performed by Camden native, Glenn Parker.

Parker said he now lives in Louisiana and is a competitor in the professional rodeo circuit.

In addition to the variety of booths, there were also food trucks at the event.

The overall turnout was lower than for October's First Friday Market, but despite the fact the November Market fell the day after Halloween and carried a chance of rain, Ouachita County residents still came out to attended the monthly market event.
