And here are some of the activities planned!
- Chris Clark a well-known bicyclist is a new attraction to this year’s festival and will perform bicycle stunts twice during the festival. Chris will be entertaining us at 12:00 and 2:00 P.M. on upper Main Street.
- After the 12:00 performance, treat yourselves to our balloon stylist, Bryan Lizzotte who will be on hand to entertain you. Brian is well known throughout the Valley area and beyond and has entertained many times at Antonio’s Restaurant. So take the time and you’ll be sure to walk away with a balloon styled by Brian.
- Also, be sure to check out the scarecrows along Main Street. They will be on display either in store windows or on the sidewalks. Blue Ribbons will be awarded and judged by the Valley Arts Council. (Greg Karas)
