To do Sunday

* If you’re craving strawberries, Chattanooga Market is the place to be. In addition to fresh-picked berries, vendors will have an array of foods flavored with strawberries, as well as themed arts and crafts. The market is open 11 a.m.-4 p.m. at First Horizon Pavilion, 1826 Carter St. chattanoogamarket.com

* It’s your last chance for a ride on Thomas the Tank Engine at the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum, 4119 Cromwell Road. This family-favorite event features a full-size replica of the storybook train and visits with Sir Topham Hatt, controller of the railway, along with crafts, storytelling, videos and other activities. Trains depart every hour between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. Tickets are $24. Purchase at tvrail.com. Call 423-894-8028 for more information.

* Yard sales are generally sparse on Sundays, but your odds of finding sellers may be better during the multistate U.S. 11 Antique Alley Yard Sale, concluding Sunday. The 502-mile sale from Bristol, Virginia, to Meridian, Mississippi, passes through communities in Monroe, McMinn, Bradley and Hamilton counties in Southeast Tennessee, Dade County in Northwest Georgia and DeKalb County in Northeast Alabama. us11antiquealley.com
