The CCA was pleased to present “Pop Luck,” a community pot luck to unveil York’s biggest picnic table. Guests were invited to bring a dish or beverage to share with friends and family and help to celebrate a new community meeting and sharing space in downtown York.
Made by York’s own A & J Woodworking of local boards from AT&N lumber, the Pop Start picnic table is an impressive 28 feet and seats up to 36 people. The top features 28 foot solid boards of local cedar. A centerpiece of the forthcoming Pop Start operation, the table is meant to celebrate local resources, business and talent.

Pop Start is a permanent pop up and community retail space in downtown York that will offer rotating business incubation, a cooperative market for selling home-sourced goods, a community social space and an opportunity for artists and community members to experiment with the space of a storefront. With a shifting yet constant identity Pop Start will provide an exciting space for discovery where patrons may not know what they will find, but know where to find it.
Pop Start is being developed with support from the University of West Alabama’s James Suttles Entrepreneurship Institute, the Education Foundation of America and individual supporters of the Coleman Center for the Arts.
