Missouri is home to some great places to visit, but one attraction in Hannibal has been voted one of the most epic places to visit in the entire state.
The 39th annual Autumn Historic Folklife Festival descends upon downtown Hannibal Saturday and Sunday, October 17 and 18, and the Mark Twain Boyhood Home and Museum will be right in the middle of the action.
The Tom and Becky Program is an annual tradition in Hannibal. Started in 1956, it was created by the Hannibal Area Chamber of Commerce as a contest to select an official Tom and an official Becky to greet students visiting Hannibal from St. Louis. The Mark Twain Boyhood Home and Museum has announced that it is assuming sponsorship of the program.
It's hard to believe, but this upcoming season will be the eighth year for Music Under the Stars, the Mark Twain Boyhood Home and Museum's free summer concert series in Hannibal.
The Mark Twain Boyhood Home and Museum will hold its 3rd annual Trivia Night on October 5 at the Hannibal Nutrition Center, 219 South 10th Street. I've participated in this every year with the KHMO team, and it is a blast! The first year our team (KHM OMG!) placed 2nd. I think we were 3rd or 4th, last year.
