The 42nd annual Old Fashioned Saturday Night is one month away. Betty Stoner is organizing the event again this year. She said, “We still have plenty of room for more booths. Any type of booth is great. We really would like to have more things for kids to do. If you have any ideas please let me know and I will get you set up. Help make this a good time for all by sponsoring a booth.”

Local businesses, clubs and organizations are invited to set up booths, games, and activities of all kinds. If you would like to have a booth this year please let Betty know. Registration forms are now available. You can contact Betty at 660-787-0531 or text her at the same number and she will get you a form. The registration form can also be found on the Rock Port Chamber Facebook page. The fee for a booth is $10.00 and can be paid the night of the event. If you want the same spot as you have had before please let Betty know so she can reserve it for you. The spots will be done on a first come, first served basis. All registration forms need to be turned in by September 8
