2016 Celebration_Page_1Monday, July 4, at Standley Park, 3585 Governor Drive, 8 AM to 7 PM.

2016 marks the 28th anniversary of this favorite community event that has something for everybody.  The day starts off with the One Mile Fun Run and 5K Run at 8 AM, with registration from 6:30-7:30 AM.

As soon as you’re done walking, running, or cheering on the participants, head on to the Pancake Breakfast. From 8:30-10:00 AM, local volunteers cook up delicious pancakes and sausages, served with juice or coffee. The pancake Breakfast is free for all walk/run participants, or $6 per person.

The Standley Marching Band will lead the way at 10:30 AM for the Bike/Pet Parade that always brings a smile to everyone’s faces.

Noon through 4 PM is when all the rest of the action takes place: entertainment, games, food and vendor booths, Book Barn, and the popular beer garden.

Kids will enjoy games all day, including a Rock Wall, Slug-a-Thon, Dunk Tank, and Inflatables.

Make sure to be around for the Cannon Ball Contest at 2 PM.

Kids and parents alike can participate in Family Field games throughout the day, and the Photo Scavenger Hunt beginning at noon (register starting at 10:30 AM).

Music and entertainment is scheduled throughout the day, including the Polynesian Dances from 12 to 1 PM. For evening entertainment, the band “Y3K” performs from 5-7 PM.
