Know your numbers with free, quick blood pressure and blood glucose checks sponsored by In Home Care Connections. No appointment is necessary.

Enjoy a one-day clearance event at Ashley with an extra 50 percent off pink-tag clearance items and select floor models. Everything is in stock for same-day pickup, so consider bringing a truck or trailer. Availability is first come, first served and items cannot be held, so arriving early can help secure the best selection. Children can enjoy free trick-or-treating while adults browse. Once an item is gone, it is gone.

Browse offerings from 26 vendors, including books, mini quilts, sewing items, baby blankets, wreaths, crochet animals, children’s books, jewelry, resin pieces, and products from several direct-sales brands. The show features free entry and door prizes. Tables and chairs are not provided.

Put your knowledge to the test with six rounds of trivia covering pop culture, sports, entertainment, name that tune, geography and history, and science. Play for free in a team of up to six, with first- and second-place prizes and a mid-game prize. Drinks are available while you think.
