MAYFIELD — The Mayfield Historical Society will hold its second annual cruise-in, Hitrick & Books concert, and ice cream social from 6 to 8 p.m. July 12 at the Rice Homestead, 328 Riceville Road, according to a news release.
In case of rain, the car cruise-in will be canceled and the event will be held at the Mayfield Presbyterian Church, 22 N. Main St.
