Serving Waitsburg, Dayton and the Touchet Valley
WAITSBURG - Ten people showed up at Tuesday night's Celebration Days meeting and hatched a plan that they are optimistic will allow Celebration Days to continue as an annual weekend event.
The group hopes that an ATV poker run and riding lawnmower barrel racing will replace the sheepdog triLearn als that took place at the fairgrounds last year. The possibility of ATV safety courses and demonstrations was also discussed. The Celebration Days Committee still has one big hurdle to jump - finding a local 501c3 that would be willing to add the event to their insurance policy, though the Committee would pay the actual insurance fee.
In addition to the traditional parade, breakfast, car show, dance, dinner, etc. the group plans to focus increased attention on providing quality family friendly events at the fairgrounds midway. Suggestions included obstacle courses, Pinewood Derby events, frog jumping, toilet seat horseshoes, mutton busting, goat-tail tying and more. All are dependent on volunteer willingness to organize and oversee the events.
The next meeting is slated for February 24 at 5 p.m. at the Waitsburg Business Center (111 Preston Avenue). More volunteers are needed and community input is welcome.
