There will be entertainment all day long including clowns, a greased pig catching, peach cobbler contest, sexy legs competition and of course the carnival with food vendors open throughout the day and into the night. The downtown plaza will also be host to vendors with food, toys, what-nots, and raffles during all three days.
Timpson Twirlers and Cheerleaders will perform at 6pm. Please make sure you attend our famous cake auction before the entertainment Saturday evening. Immediately following the cake auction Leavin Sundown will take the stage for the street dance.
