The 54th Annual Hopkins County Stew Festival, Hopkins County's biggest annual event, will take place in less than two weeks, and tickets are already on sale.

and older, tickets cost $8 apiece. Thanks to Signature Solar's support,
children under the age of 12 will not be charged for their meals this year,
although they still require a ticket.

sweatshirts, tumblers, mugs, and stickers are also available.
Due to the community's
kind-hearted companies, the 54th Annual Hopkins County Stew Festival, presented
by Alliance Bank, has been able to keep its prices low. For some families, the
cost has recently decreased even more.
Children under the age
of 12 will be served for free at the event on Saturday, October 28, thanks to
Signature Solar's kind support, it was announced by the Chamber and Signature
Solar. Tickets are still required for children, which may be purchased online
or on paper tickets.
One Church made a
sponsorship announcement for the Fun Zone, which has activities for kids,
bouncy houses, and gellyball. Children will enjoy themselves for free as a
result of One Church's kind sponsorship!
The Oct. 27 activities,
which feature our appetizer contest and a performance by Dubb and the Luv
Machines, will be sponsored by City National Bank.

An yearly mammography
should be scheduled during October, which is National Breast Cancer Awareness
Month. At some time in their lives, one
in every eight women will receive a breast cancer diagnosis. Age-related increases in breast cancer risk
make mammography and early identification of the disease crucial.
