The fun continues next weekend in Carlton, where the official Carlton Daze celebration was canceled due to the pandemic but some local businesses are continuing with a few of the traditional weekend’s most popular events July 24-26.

The festivities kick off Friday evening with bingo from 4-8 p.m. at the Carlton VFW, followed by music from 9 p.m.-1 a.m. at both the VFW and the Third Base Bar.

Saturday is a big day, with a car show starting at 9 a.m., plus bingo, poker and horseshoe and bean bag tournaments. Sand volleyball and softball tournaments are happening too (call 218-384-4515 to sign up) along with more music Saturday night and Sunday afternoon.
