Events

Rather than having several thousand people crowded on downtown sidewalks, the audience will drive by the parked parade.

The workshops, focused on home entertaining and led by local experts, will be in The Hall at the Alhambra Theatre downtown.

A Hopkinsville trivia contest, sponsored by Hoptown Chronicle, will occur during breaks in the Beards of the Brewery competition. Several prizes donated by local businesses and organizations will be awarded. The trivia questions are about local history and downtown.

Anyone who goes for a flu shot on Oct. 14 will also have the option of being tested for COVID-19.

Other events include a spooky stroll through a local cemetery and movie night at the museum.

Similar memorial gatherings are planned across the country at the same time.

The focus this year is to keep the auction tradition going and raise as much money as possible for the Rotary Scholars program at Hopkinsville Community College

The auction raises money for Rotary Scholars at Hopkinsville Community College. The program offers a two-year, full scholarship to every graduating senior from a high school in Christian County.

The auction continues every night through Saturday. WHOP carries the auction nightly, and it is live-streamed on the Hopkinsville Rotary Club's website and Facebook page.

The auction will run Monday through Saturday. The public can listen on WHOP or watch a livestream video online. All bids will be taken over the phone.

This marks the sixth year for Hopkinsville's walking challenge, an idea Wally Bryan brought to the health department in hopes it would help local residents improve their health.

Food and drink vendors, along with musicians, will be set up on Ninth Street outside Milkweed Heatlh and Harmony Emporium.
