This multi-day event features a variety of activities suitable for all ages, including a city-wide garage sale, a treasure hunt, and a coloring contest sponsored by Hometown Sweets. The festivities culminate in a weekend filled with live music, family fun nights, and the much-anticipated Bingo Tent sponsored by Moose Lodge #1088. These events provide an excellent opportunity for residents to come together and celebrate the unique spirit of our city.
