Come Friday night for the Possum King and Queen contests and stay for Saturday's parade and possum auction. Be sure to try some possum stew, it is surprisingly good. Share in the laughs when local politicians and celebrities bid against each other for the rights to a live possum...really.

Visit the arts and crafts booths while you listen to local bluegrass, gospel and country bands. In addition, try a sample of a variety of unique southern foods. The most popular treat, being, well you guessed it...Possum Ice Cream!

Round out the evening by attending the Saturday evening dance held at the world famous Possum Palace.
