Following the parade, the celebration moves to the park, where approximately 65 vendors will offer food, handmade goods, retail items, community resources and family-friendly activities throughout the day.
“This is the best part, where the community can get together, reconnect with old classmates and spend time with family,” organizer and Chamber treasurer Nikki Cummins said.
In addition to the festivities, visitors are encouraged to stop by the newly opened Power County Museum to explore exhibits highlighting the area’s rich history.
