An Elvis Impersonator will be there, too. Plenty of food, dancing, volleyball tournaments. A sausage and biscuit and egg breakfast will be served by the Lions Club. Antique tractors, wagon tours, craft and quilt displays and much more.

And don't forget about the big parade starting at 10 a.m. on Saturday. Golden, Illinois would love to see you and help them celebrate 150 years of great times and great people!
