Carrollton held a “Hunt’in for Treasures” event this past weekend on Friday and Saturday and the Square was full of vendors selling their products and food vendors selling everything from fried fish to snow cones. It was also town-wide yard sales so the city was very busy with traffic during the two-day event.
