Planning for the 4th Annual Piedmont UFO Fest is in full swing. April 24-26th will once again turn our small town into a hotbed for UFO lovers near and far. Vendor and food applications are now available at www.visitpiedmontmo.com/piedmontufofest. The event is slated to host a variety of events including expert speakers, eyewitness accounts, food trucks, vendors, parade, a 5k Run/Walk, Art Walk, live chalk art demo and much more. The event this year will include a Sunday portion of expert speakers at the Luna Museum. The parade, previously hosted on Friday night, will now be landing on Saturday night at dark. Saturday will also include an all-ages costume contest on the Greenway as well as a pet walk. So get your tin foil hats ready to join us for an out of this world weekend celebrating our history with UFOs.
