Just three more days and it will be here - the Annual Wellsville VFD Festival. With preparations well underway they are set to open Wednesday evening at 5 P.M. The firemen began setting up yesterday at the 20th St. Ball Field and Brown Amusements will be here Tuesday to set up the midway. Starting Thursday they will have live entertainment and karaoke. There will be food and soft drink stands that include those world famous french fries.
Hours will be 5 P.M. - 10 P.M. each evening except Saturday. Saturday will start off with the traditional parade from 3rd St. to the ball field at 3 P.M. Following the parade there will be a 6 Man Tug-a-war and a 5 Man Bucket Brigade contests. I've never seen the contests in person but the parade is always exceptional and one of the best you'll see in the area.
This year's festival will be capped off with a finale and return of a fireworks display scheduled at 10 P.M. at the ball field. Fireworks will be put on by Pyrotecnico, the same company that does the Memorial Day fireworks in Calcutta.
Again this year they will be giving away two bicycles that are pictured above. They are brand spanking new and the price is right to get a chance on them. All you have to do is have your child register at the festival. The drawing for the bikes is Saturday evening at 8 P.M.
It's a fun way to support the ville's firefighters. Bring the kids. Bring the grand parents. Bring the neighbors. Bring yourselves. There's something for everyone.
See ya there...
