Description of Event:
First Monday Trade Day in Scottsboro began as Horse Swapper's Day on December 1, 1902. The event was the idea of James Armstrong, editor of ""The Scottsboro Citizen."" Armstrong made his first appeal to his readers on March 8, 1900 saying, ""Why not have a day SET APART each month in Scottsboro as horse swapper's day? This would bring a big crowd to town and would be known as horse trader's day."" James Armstrong waited almost three years before his idea materialized. Finally on November 13, 1902 he again appealed to his readers suggesting, ""Each first Monday could be made a lively day for buying, swapping and selling horses and mules. The Citizen suggests that Monday, December 1st be named the First Horse Swapper's Day."" Th rest, as they say, is history. While the FIRST horse swapper's day was not a howling success, Armstrong did not give up. Six months later, The Citizen reported: ""A good crowd was in town Monday. County and Commissioners' Court met that day."" No mention was made of trade day.Information:
