To kick off a busy weekend in the Queen City, the Hamasa Shriners will have its 6th Annual Peanut Boil beginning Thursday, Sept. 1 at 8 a.m. and will continue through Saturday.

If you are looking for some snacks for those college football games this weekend then head on over to the Hamasa P-Nut Shed at 5516 Dale Dr. in Marion and get some of their famous peanuts.

If you can’t make it to Marion then the Shriners will be selling the boiled peanuts in three other locations – the parking lots at Deals in Philadelphia, Vowells in Louisville, and Big Lots in Laurel.

Cost of the peanuts are $10 for a 3 pound Ziploc bag. Salt or Cajun available. Call for pre-order at 601-693-1361 or email hamasashriners@comcast.net.

Earth’s Bounty returns to Singing Brakeman Park Saturday, 8 a.m.-12 p.m.
