At last year's Brooklet Peanut Festival, Wendell Cowart, right, urges his 1950 Ford tractor on to the finish line while competing against Joe Myers in his 1953 Farmall 100 during the slow tractor races at the annual festival. The 2010 festival is set for Saturday.
People will be dancing in the streets of Brooklet Saturday night after a day of enjoying the 21st Annual Peanut Festival. The festival is set for Saturday from 7 a.m. until 10:30 p.m. in downtown Brooklet. People will be up and running early as the 5K Peanut Run gets underway at 7 a.m. At 10 a.m., a parade through downtown Brooklet will showcase dozens of entries, including lots of tractors and all nine of the Brooklet Peanut Princesses.
