The Pawnee Prairie Days are set for this weekend, with plenty of fun and exciting events scheduled throughout the weekend. Pawnee Prairie Days starts on Thursday and runs until Saturday in downtown Pawnee.

Mike Hall is on the board that organizes the annual festival in Pawnee. He says there will be plenty of events throughout the weekend to entertain those who come out.

Hall says the annual nickel raffle has great prizes this year, and if someone is lucky enough, he or she can win a prize for only a nickel.

The festival is free to attend. In addition to all of the scheduled events, there will be carnival rides and food trucks at the Pawnee Prairie Days throughout the weekend.
