Plans are being finalized for the 31st annual Friendsville Days, which will be held Friday and Saturday, Aug. 5 and 6, in Friendsville.
“All are welcome to come join in some old-fashioned fun in the spacious Friendsville Community Park and partake of a variety of food, activities, and entertainment that will take place throughout Friday evening and all day Saturday, said Lucretia Sines, one of the organizers.
The activities will begin Friday with a picnic-style dinner at 6 p.m., sponsored by Northern Garrett Rescue Squad Station 3 in Friendsville. The meal is being offered to citizens in appreciation for the community support of the squad throughout the last year. Musical entertainment will be presented by the Crazy Cowboy Band at 7 p.m. Door prizes, games, and food will be available throughout the evening
Saturday’s schedule of events will begin with a noontime parade, with the theme this year being “Salute to American Heroes.” The newly crowned Miss Maryland will also participate in the parade. Persons/organizations interested in participating in the parade are asked to contact Roger Sisler at 301-746-5750.
Opening ceremonies, sponsored by Friendsville Pharmacy, will follow the parade at the community park and will include a 21-gun salute by county veterans.
Musical entertainment throughout the day will be provided by Lonesome Highway, West Virginia’s renowned bluegrass band.
A car, truck, and motorcycle show will be among Saturday’s events. For more information about this show, persons may contact Pat Reip-Dice at 301-746-4280.
