"The Heart of the Illinois Amish Country"
Arthur
Days Spring Festival
June 6-7, 2008
With its roots as on of the first Merchants Sidewalk Sales Days known back in the early 40's, Arthur continues the tradition of an old fashioned, small town special weekend.
You'll find bargains for the whole family at the
merchants sidewalk sales all over town. Plus craft booths and flea
market vendors offer their wares downtown also.
Around
town there will be dozens of garage sales both days , so get your
bargain hunting shoes on and get on down here!
For lovers of old machinery, there will be a car
show, an antique tractor
show,
and a motorcycle show and rodeo, that everyone loved watching last
year.
Add a stage full of live entertainment, food vendors, and a block full of inflatable's for the kids and you have a weekend of fun for the whole family!
