Matters of Graves Importance: Kenworth Truck parade this weekend
Saturday is the Kenworth Chillicothe Truck Parade and will celebrate the Kenworth 100th anniversary. Last year the parade featured more than 50 new, classic, and customized Kenworth trucks showcased by drivers from 28 states and Canada. Head downtown at dusk to see what they have in store for us this year and after the parade enjoy the music of Scott Collier and his friends from Nashville.
Trivia is back at Old Capitol Brewing and this week's theme is "Name That Tune + Music Facts.” Up to six people can be on a team and the fun begins at 6:30 p.m. You can catch Micah Kesselring at Steiner’s Speakeasy and Ben True at The Page both starting at 7 p.m.
Friday evening local favorite Zac McFadden takes the stage at Steiner’s at 8 p.m. The Cozy Inn Bar & Grill brings back fan favorite Hunter Jordan at 9 p.m. and Danny Hines turns up the volume in the taproom at OCB at 7 p.m. If you are feeling like you want to get out of town head to Jackson and Stockroom601 for karaoke with Cameron Mitchell.
“Top Down, Kitties Out! Bingo Bash & Jeep Giveaway” is Saturday at Creekside Occasions hosted by Cats & Company and Grateful Hearts Senior Dog Rescue. I will be your friendly number caller. Bingo sessions are at 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. Food and drinks will be available for purchase and a cash bar will be on site. Other offerings are a 50/50 drawing, a Jeep giveaway, and raffle items. All proceeds will benefit animals in our community. Fifty West Brewing Company and host Bill Schere invite the community to join in on a public drum circle at 6 p.m. Patrick's Pub welcomes the Ashley Huffer Duo at 7 p.m. Hotel guests and the public are welcome.
