MEMPHIS, MO -- Memphis, Missouri is hopping this weekend with the annual Scotland County Antique Fair.
    
The square has been filled with more than 30 vendors these past few days selling food, crafts, and antiques.
    
Saturday's festivities included a parade, car show, and kiddie tractor pull.
    
Coorinators say the antique fair is a lot of fun and draws visitors to Memphis every year.

"We draw people in all over. I've got people here in the vendors this year from Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, so we're stretching out that way. We've got several new people here this year that weren't here last year so we were real thrilled about that and it just continues to get bigger and better," said Chairman Leon Buford.
    
The four-day event wraps up Sunday with an antique tractor pull at the fairgrounds starting at 10 a.m.
    
There's also a free fly-in dinner at 11 a.m. at the Briggs Smith Memorial Airport followed by airplane rides.
