top three entries in each
category. To register, call

The event features a full
day of baseball festivities,
the Adams Public Library

the park. The park vendors,
Gilmer
said,
include
everything from plants and
jewelry to toys and clothing.
Also, she said there will be a
number of food options. The
2016 event featured more
than 40 vendors. The cost

hidden treasures.

one.”
