This weekend’s Power Show and Festival will provide lots of food and trinkets available at the 4-H Park.
Organized by the Wheels of Yesteryear Antique Club, the festival will run from Friday to Sunday, with a variety of activities on display.
Wheels of Yesteryear President Ron Westfall anticipates one of the event highlights to be the pioneer encampment.
“Last year we had probably the largest encampment in more than 10 years.” recalled Westfall. “Approximately 20 camps were active with activities of the 1840 period.
“During the weekend these individuals take on the role of Indian and French trappers and traders and are very serious in the look of the period. They have trinkets to sell the public that many have handcrafted for the period. It is all very interesting and authentic.”
Westfall also promises plenty of food will be available for visitors to the show.
All meals, except for an additional fundraiser by the Homemakers’ Club on Friday evening, will be provided by the club. Westfall also anticipates that several food vendors will be at the show, providing ice cream, apple dumplings, fish and tenderloin sandwiches, mini donuts, possibly sweet corn and other good eating similar to the 4-H Fair.
The full meal schedule is as follows:
Friday morning:
Biscuits & Gravy ($4 for a full order with drink, $2.50 for a half order, $1 for a fruit cup.)
Friday evening:
