This weekend is the annual May Days Festival in Clinton.
It's an event hosted by the Clinton Chamber of Commerce and is also a fundraiser for the non-profit. Executive Director Janice Peterson indicates the May Days Festival is on the Clinton Square this Thursday through Sunday with a carnival, food vendors, and entertainment.
Thursday kicks the weekend off with a flag raising with the veterans organizations of the community. Peterson looks forward to the Clinton High School thespians sing-off that night from 6 pm to 8 pm on the square. Then there's other entertainment going on throughout the week on the square.
This year, Peterson has brought in a good variety of food trucks and vendors that will set up across the downtown square. She has way more food vendors this year than in years past.
Discounted wristbands are on sale now for the carnival over the weekend. According to Peterson, they sold those out quickly last year. They doubled what they sold from last year hoping that will be enough for this year's pre-sale wristbands that are available throughout the community.
We'll have more this week with Peterson on May Days this year, which again kicks off Thursday evening and concludes on Sunday. For more information, visit clintonilchamber.com or find the Clinton Chamber of Commerce on Facebook.
