annual festival, Stockyard Days, cel-
ebrating the city and its 19th cen-
tury roots as livestock grounds.
From Aug. 3 to 12, residents and
regional visitors will have a chance
to join in on nine days of fun and
games, happening primarily in Long
Lake Regional Park, located at 1500
Old Highway 8.
Now in its 38th year, Stockyard
Days has become a cherished tra-
dition, full of vendors and events
that festivalgoers enjoy year after
year, like the Antique Car Run and
Duck Race. The organizing commit-
tee strives to deliver a consistently
excellent event, while also testing
out new ideas.
So, come see for yourself — this
year will bring back plenty of tried-
and-true favorites, while also giving
longtime festivalgoers something
new to look forward to.

Parade festivities will wrap up with a
post-parade party at the Eagles Club on
Old Highway 8, where Stockyard Days
will receive royalty from the Winter
