The event features games for all ages and prizes too! Activities take place on Wednesday, July 4, from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Included will be a bike parade and everyone is encouraged to decorate their bicycle with a patriotic theme, as well as bike raffles, food and fun. Visitors will be treated to some old fashioned family fun in the form of gunny sack races, watermelon seed spitting contest, hula hoop contest , face painting and more. There will be hot dogs, chips, drinks.
Everyone is invited! Admission is free for this 100% volunteer-run, family-friendly event.
