The three summer holidays may be over, but another big week of entertainment in Decatur kicks off Thursday night and continues Saturday and Sunday.
And a few miles south, the town of Monroe will host its annual “day” on Saturday.
One of the biggest attractions of each year, the St. Marys Parish Fall Fest, opens Saturday in Decatur.
Things get going Thursday night with Adams Health Network’s annual Senior Living Night on the Madison Street Plaza, starting at 5:30 p.m. and continuing until 8:30.
The highly popular Sweetwater All-Stars, who played the plaza just two weeks earlier, will be back again, performing at 5:30.
Opening for the All-Stars will be Bellmont High School student, Jayleena Hill, singing at 5:15. She had been scheduled for a Chamber summer series two weeks earlier, but had to back out due to illness.
AHN officials said food trucks will be available, prizes will be awarded, and a cash bar will offer wine slushies, beer and more.
FALL FEST: The parish fall fest begins at 4 p.m. Saturday with a Mass, then the food tent opens at 5, along with silent and Chinese auctions.
Super Bingo will begin at 6.
Sunglasses at Night will perform from 7 to 11 p.m.
Sunday will be highlighted by kid games. The food tent will open at noon, and Razz M’ Jazz will perform at 2.
CAR SHOW: Also next Sunday, the Adams County Historical Society will hold its annual car show at the Dugan Museum, just across the street from the Fall Fest.
Car show hours will be 1 to 4 p.m. Museum officials said vintage cars of 1950 and older will be on display, along with antique fire trucks and motorcycles.
No admission will be charged. Popcorn and sno cones will be available and door prizes will be awarded.
The first floor of the museum will open for touring during the car show hours.
The registration fee for vehicles is $10. To register, contact Walt Reiter, 260-402-7540, or wpdjreiter@yahoo.com.
MONROE DAY: Family fun and games are promoted as the Town of Monroe holds its annual Monroe Day Saturday from 4-8 p.m.
A car show will be held, with registration starting at 3, and live music is also on tap.
Among the events will be a dunk tank, pedal pulls, and ax throwing.
Food vendors will be on hand.
The drawing for the Monroe Volunteer Fire Department’s golf cart raffle will be held Saturday. Tickets are $20 each and two for $30.
