Du Quoin Fall Festival in Keyes City Park on Saturday, Oct. 5

Du Quoin resident Dane Mason, owner of Creativescapes landscaping in Du Quoin and author of the Summer Nights Concert Series in July is in the closing days of completing plans for a community fall festival on Saturday, Oct. 5.

"Join us for some Fall Festival fun at the Keyes City Park. A family oriented day full of activities!" he says.

For the kids, face painting to sack races, we'll have it all.

Vendors will be set up at 9a.m. - p.m with many great handmade items and products from companies such as Mary Kay, Scentsy, and Papparazi Jewelry.

There will also be food vendors in the park.

On the bandstand stage, Chris Slone will be playing from 2 p.m.- 5 p.m. and The band 4-play will play from 6 - 9 p.m.

We hope everyone comes out and supports this great event and help make it succeed like the success of the Summer Nights Concert Series. Please feel free to like the event on facebook and share with your friends.

Sponsors of the Fall event so far include the City of Du Quoin, Linzee Insurance, R&S Automotive, Ye Olde Country Store, the Du Quoin Indianettes, Du Quoin Health Center, Du Quoin State Bank and a sponsorship in loving memory of Vanessa Fleming.
