The annual Mentone Egg Festival is being held this week with lots of events and fun planned for the 3-day event.

It all starts Thursday with lots of entertainment, games, food and even a parade. Don’t miss out on the huge car, truck, motorcycle and tractor show, the flea market and craft vendors and more. And the best part is, it’s all free to attend.

Who will be crowned Miss Chick and Mister Rooster? Which team will earn bragging rights from a 3-on-3 basketball tournament and who will claim victory in the 5K Egg City Run? There is so much to do, so much to see, and so much to do over the 3-day festival, there is sure to never be a dull moment.

On Saturday, from 6 a.m. to 10 a.m., the Mentone Fire Department will host its annual pancake and sausage breakfast with all free-will donations going to the fire department. Dine in at the fire department or choose carry out, but be sure to fill up before the Mentone Egg Festival Parade begins at 11 a.m.
