Summer is nearly upon us! Final preparations are being made for National Tom Sawyer Days, which will be from July 3 - 6 in downtown Hannibal. There are so many different types of activities planned during that time. Official events like the Fence Painting Contest and Frog Jump Contest draw enthusiasts year after year, and unofficial events that coincide with Tom Sawyer Days, like Mud Volleyball and the Hannibal Cannibal, are also among the activities our community loves to support. There's always more than enough to do during those few days in July. What do you enjoy most about National Tom Sawyer Days?
