Haunted Hallway returns for a two-night experience at the store.

Collectors Carnival Antique & Flea Market transforms the Gibson County Fairgrounds into a fully booked shopping destination, with eight buildings filled and an additional one hundred outdoor vendor spaces also taken. More than 350 booths showcase antiques, collectibles, primitives, vintage advertising, furniture, toys, tools, glassware, pottery, jewelry, and home decor, creating a broad mix for treasure hunters and casual browsers alike. Attendance is expected to reach about 4,000 shoppers. The grounds are set up for convenience with eleven food outlets, three ATMs, and two free tractor shuttles to help you get around. It happens rain or shine, with ample indoor shopping available. For everyone’s comfort and safety, pets should stay home, and comfortable footwear is a good idea for a full day of exploring.

This annual Fort Branch event features a 5K run or walk alongside the Lil Zombie Kids Fun Run, with an optional on-course zombie chase for extra thrills. 5K participants are in the running for overall male and female honors, plus age group awards for runners and walkers in the following divisions: 0 to 13, 14 to 19, 20 to 29, 30 to 39, 40 to 49, 50 to 59, and 60 and over. Every child in the Lil Zombie Fun Run receives a medal, with youth divisions of 1 to 3, 4 to 6, and 7 to 9.
