The roads will be closed in downtown for this First Friday as 70+ tractors parade through town and then park along Third Street. We will have vendors, food trucks, and, of course, our amazing downtown businesses. FREE PARKING for this event thanks to American Mushroom. This year we are pleased to have Cedar Knoll once again sponsor the Straw Bale Throwing Contest along Locust Street. Start lifting weights now to get into tip-top shape! We wanna see those biceps put to the test. We also have a new event we are adding this year -- spouse calling! Think you've got what it takes to get your better half's attention from across the field? Put your lungs and your love to the test in our Spouse Calling Contest! Whether you've perfected a signature holler over decades of marriage or you're just naturally gifted at making someone come running, this is your moment to shine. Contestants will step up to the mic and let loose their best, most creative call for their spouse — and our judges (and the crowd!) will decide whose call is most likely to actually work. Expect plenty of laughs! All are welcome to compete: married, partnered, or just really loud. As a special addition for America's 250th, we will be having Ben Franklin stop by and read the Declaration of Independence. Kids can learn about this important document and get their photo taken next to an oversized Declaration of Independence and Bill of Rights. Finally, we will have LIVE MUSIC by DENISE AND MAX in the Neff Parking Lot!

The event also includes: Local artisans, vendors, and nonprofits Four educational seminars about monarch butterflies Lush, beautiful gardens to wander Native and pollinator-friendly plants for purchase Hayrides through our woods for $5/person Because this event is outdoors, we do have a rain date of Sunday, August 24th.
