CHUCKWAGON BREAKFAST
Talk about dedication, each year on Saturday morning nearly 50 volunteers arrive on the corner of Main and Harrison Streets at the unheard hour of 3:00 a.m. to begin final preparations for the annual Chuckwagon Breakfast. Nearly 2000 hungry people are served a hearty, fresh-cooked breakfast beginning at 6:00 a.m. each year.

You might ask “what do you feed 2000 people?” Well, how about, more than 800 pounds of whole hog sausage, over 400 pounds of pancake batter, at least 1200 cartons of milk, and a minimum of 200 gallons of coffee. You won’t walk away hungry from this meal.

To entertain our breakfast crowd, live C & W music begins at 7:00 a.m.

Cost of this unique breakfast experience, a free will donation.

In addition to the Main Street Market Madness, the Arts, Crafts and Collectibles show will be held at Leaverton Park from Friday through Labor Day. Vendors will be set up in the park area near the band shell with plenty of shade and lots of room to browse. There is entertainment at the band shell throughout the weekend, and the Lions Club food stand is nearby with plenty of good food.

The attraction is growing every year, with a large variety of merchandise. There is something new every year. So come on out and see if you can find just what you need to add to your collection, fill a corner or just something that tickles your fancy. Come look, browse and buy.

The Show begins on Friday morning and runs through Labor Day.

This year’s parade theme is “Story Adventures.”

Marching bands, beautiful floats, color guards, horses, antique cars and more make this an interesting and colorful event year after year.

Thousands of people line the 2 1/2 mile parade route each year with many of them reserving their favorite spot the night before. Shrine clowns and pre-parade entertainment begins at 9:00 a.m., so plan to arrive early so you won’t miss anything.

If you have any questions or if you would like to enter this year’s parade, please contact:

Dennis Stroughmatt et l'Esprit Creole
A two-to-four piece band (acoustic fiddle-centered), emphasis on French Creole music from Upper Louisiana, hints of Cajun spice. A great evening for those with a special interest in traditional music and folkways of the central USA.

These musicians were a big hit at this year's Fort LaMotte Days and we're fortunate to have them back for our Labor Day Festival.
