5th Annual Cameron City Wide Garage Sale
Cameron’s City Wide Garage Sale will be held on Saturday, June 7th. With a map of the city from the Cameron Herald, you might find that “one man’s trash” is your treasure. The City Wide Garage Sale takes place all over the city of Cameron, and we are very excited to bring you this event.

Cameron Arts & Crafts Fair
The 35th Annual Arts and Crafts Fair is set for Saturday, October 4, 2008. In 2006, we moved the Art & Crafts Fair from Cameron City Park to the Beautiful Downtown Cameron Square. More than 90 vendors are expected for this event. With the expanding of Highway 36/190/77 through Cameron, this is the safest way for us to not only keep our visitors safe, but our vendors as well. Last year, everyone enjoyed the comfort and safety of begin downtown. The Arts & Crafts Fair is a wonderful opportunity for families to get together, visit, shop and snack on local favorite treats.

Cameron Chamber Christmas Classic Basketball Tournament
Finally, we come to the Cameron Chamber Christmas Classic Basketball Tournament which unfolds during the Christmas holidays between Christmas and New Year’s. This year's tournament will be held on December 29th and 30th. The 2008 year looks like the year of growth as we continue with 16 men's and add four more women's teams to make the ladies tournament a 12 team tournament. When high school basketball teams meet up in Cameron; your sure to have two full days of exciting basketball. If you enjoy some good, quality high school basketball, then you’ve come to the right place.
