Spread across several days, the celebration features reenactment groups, bands, and a well-attended vintage car show. The highlight of the event is a parade, which always begins at 5pm on Thursday. It winds through the town's streets, showcasing local civic groups, schools, and beauty queens. A great time for the entire family.
