The big day is set for Saturday, June 27th, beginning with pie judging at 9:15 at the fire station, followed by the parade at 10. The schedule is packed with family favorites, including the kids’ pedal pull, penny scramble, frog races, mud volleyball, bingo, Rolle Bolle, bags, carnival games, and the Lil Mr. and Miss Hooppole presentation at 5:30.
