The annual Halloween Carnival will be held on October 31. This is a change from previous carnival dates because it falls on Halloween night rather than the Saturday night before Halloween.

The annual Turkey Shoot will be held on November 11 and will begin at 9:00 a.m. Shooters bring their own shotguns and shells.

Shooters aim at paper targets and the person who gets closest to the bulls eye wins either a turkey or ham, both of which have been previously processed for the kitchen. Earl Hill Moore is head honcho of the Turkey Shoot.

The third County Jamboree is scheduled for November 21. Food will be served at 5:00 p.m. and the show will begin at 6:00 p.m. Call Nick.
