No one leaves the Country Store hungry!
If you need something to snack on later or take home, check out the Bake Shop
for those delicious treats you never have time to bake. Don't forget to browse through the library's used books for sale
and pick up your Turkey Festival t-shirt or other festival souvenirs at the t-shirt booth.
Craft Show
Crafters from all over will be displaying their wares throughout the festival weekend. Located around
the outside of the baseball field, each booth offers something different than the last. Better visit them all
so you don't miss anything.
Carnival
Children of all ages love the rides and games of the carnival.
This year there again will be armband hours — one price gets you unlimited rides — on Thursday night (6-10 PM) or Sunday afternoon (12-4 PM). Armbands are $25 per day in advance and $30 per day if purchased at the carnival.
Regular tickets can also be used during armband hours.
Advance armband tickets may be purchased, starting after Memorial Day. These can be redeemed at the carnival for an actual armband and can be used for one day or the other, not both.
These will be available at the following locations in Tremont:
- Beecham's Grocery
- Tremont First National Bank
- Tremont Oil Company
- Tremont Community Bank
- Tremont Village Hall
Thanks to these businesses for helping us.
Please note: These businesses are not set up to accept credit cards, so armband vouchers must be paid for with cash or check made out to Tremont Turkey Festival.
