Cotton Avenue in downtown Millen will again be alive with family fun as Millen Better Hometown (MBHT) and Millen/Jenkins County Chamber of Commerce sponsor the eighth annual Harvest of Fun Festival 6-8 p.m. Thursday, Oct, 30.

At this annual event, children up to age 12 enjoy free games, activities and prizes sponsored by local merchants, civic groups and churches. Another popular part of the evening is the costume contest. Children age 12 and under and adults are eligible to enter. Judging will be in three categories: 6:15 p.m., ages 1-4; 6:30 p.m., ages 5-7; 6:45 p.m., ages 8-12; 7 p.m., adults. Overall first, second and third place prizes will be awarded in each category.
