What are your plans for the weekend? 
This is one of the biggest weekends we’ve seen on the Tipton To-Do List in a while. We’re talking a murder mystery, blacklight mini golf, a veterans rally, a car show, a bass tournament, a crawfish boil, medieval knight fighting, a free concert, a book sale, a garden walk, a family fun day – and more!
When we say, ‘There’s something for everyone!’ we actually mean it this time.
Note: There’s rain in the forecast! 
With these listings, we include links to more information so you can confirm details before heading out.
