BAKER — The Baker Block Museum’s staff wants to build a pavilion that would allow for covered events as well as create a source of revenue.

The museum will host a day of family fun, including a chili cook-off and vendor shopping, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. March 17 at Baker Block Museum, 1307 Georgia Ave., Baker.

"We will have vendors, food, live music, a silent auction and a 50-50 drawing," a media release stated. "We will also have a kid’s corner with bounce houses, face painting and rock painting."

Entry is free; the Kids Corner features $5 all you can bounce admission; and attendees can buy tickets for tasting samples from the chili cook-off and vote for their favorite.

Casey Kearney, M&M Express, Gospel and Bluegrass will provide live music.

Hot Dogs, Fried Oreos, funnel cakes, baked goods, homemade ice cream and boiled peanuts will be served.

All proceeds from this cash-only event will go toward the pavilion fund.
