UPDATE: 2014
This year, 2014, The Preston Court Days are set to officially begin on Oct. 17th and end on the third Monday which is the Oct. 20th.
But as the tradition grows rapidly each year, usually vendors begin selling for the entire week leading up to the end date. So look for booths to unofficially start setting up on Oct.13, 2014 until Oct. 20, 2014. 

UPDATE: 2015
