Gloomy skies do not dampen Dixie Day fun
The thunderstorms and gloomy skies did not dampen any Dixie Day fun July 29. The day kicked off with the Sailors and Mermaids 5K run.
The male’s overall winner was Brian Shepherd, 57, with a time of 18:24.29 and the woman’s overall winner was Yvette Rojas, 26, with a time of 18:42.67. Second place overall male was Filemon Perez, 45, with a time of 18:34.37 and second place overall woman Jody Brown, 48, with her dogs Dilly and Flash with a time of 23:39.03.

Once the runners crossed the finish line, the real fun began.
Food vendors lined up down West Washington Street, selling some fair food classics like doughnuts, kettle corn, cheeseburgers, barbecue, lemon shake-ups, ice cream, milkshakes and a couple Mexican food trucks were parked toward the end.
Artisan vendors were spread out down West Washington Street and across Pilcher’s front lawn selling incredible, local handmade art. Dixie Day-goers could find everything from homemade baked goods, cutting boards, wood work, crocheted goodies and more.
The car and truck show took place on the Mermaid Festival grounds. Rows of vintage and shiny cars and trucks lined down on the grounds.
Other Dixie Day events included a dunk tank and a scavenger hunt that brought participants all around Dixie Day, and of course, a ride on the Dixie.
