A new antique mall is coming to Mentone, bringing quality goods and a fun shopping experience to the community.
The Possum Emporium opens Saturday, May 24, at 10 a.m. It is located at 1774 County Road 642 in a former church building just 200 yards off Alabama Highway 117.

The opening will kick off with the first Mentone Dicker Days, which will run throughout the year. During Dicker Days, pop-up vendors will be set up in tents across the lawn, along with food vendors.
