Local residents are also hosting a 3-hour only Bags Tournament. The cost is
$10 per team with prizes awarded to the top teams.

Altorfer Inc. will showcase Caterpillar (CAT) equipment in the "Touch-A-Truck" feature for children this month.

Music this month will include performances by Von Strantz, Sawhorse, and Erisa Rei.

Visitors are encouraged to stroll through the vendor market and explore the downtown area as many businesses will have special extended hours to accommodate late night shopping.
