We’ve got another fun-filled weekend at the Fallon Theatre, plus a chance to run (or walk) for a great cause—us.

Get ready for the “Cantaloupe Canter 5K” on Saturday, Aug. 23, part of the Cantaloupe Festival & Country Fair. Check-in is 7 to 7:50 a.m. at 333 Sheckler Road, with an 8 a.m. start. Early registration is $25, or $30 on race day. Whether you’re racing to win or taking a casual stroll, your entry helps preserve and improve our historic theatre.
