Saturday, April 21st will start with a 5K race and a 1 Mile Fun Walk at 8:30am at Colquitt Freewill Baptist Church. A Main Street parade will begin at 10am followed by local entertainment. Vendors will be selling arts, crafts, collectibles, and a variety of food. There will be many special attractions and displays for all ages.
