Trio of events scheduled for Saturday

The shutterbugs have turned spooky this year.

The Midwest Shutterbug Scale Model Nationals, Midwest Shutterbug Halloween Car, Truck and Bike Show and a Dia de los Muertos celebration are scheduled for Saturday at Jay County Fairgrounds. The event is typically held in the spring, but was delayed this year because of the coronavirus pandemic.

The model nationals, which will run from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, features model cars, trucks and other vehicles. It will coincide with an outdoor car, truck and bike show at the fairgrounds.

The Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) event will run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. It will feature a gathering to pray for and remember family and friends who have died.

All three events are free to spectators.
