Shawn O’Brien, president of the Good Ol’ Days Stearing Committee has some good news and some bad news.
“Bad news- our carnival had to cancel due to staffing issues,” he said. “We have been very fortunate to get bounce houses to place on the grassy area north of the blockhouse, east of Luther’s BBQ (at Oak and National Avenue). The bounce houses will be free for all kids. There is a wide variety for all ages. Come check them out.”
The 40th annual Fort Scott event continues on with a parade, foods galore, talent and baby contests, live music, vendors lining Main Street, displays, tournaments, a petting zoo, a zip line, balloonist, and Friday and Saturday street dances- something for everyone.
In addition, there are other freebies:
