Vendors sought for upcoming Denmark Heritage Days

The organizers of Denmark Heritage Days are preparing for this popular event which will be June 2, 3, 4 at Starr Park, in Denmark.

On Saturday, there will be a quilt show at the church, and custom cars and pickups at the park. Games and pedal tractor pulls for kids will also be held.

On Sunday afternoon, there will be Church in the Park, a ham ball dinner at the church, and a Bill Riley Talent Competition in the afternoon.

Other daily events include a flea market, book sale, tractors and gas engines on display, a gas engine swap meet, inflatable football toss and activity trailer. Free train rides and wagon rides will also be available.
