August 10th Party on the Square

Mark your calendar for Friday, August 10th , and come to a great night of family fun and fellowship on the Lancaster Town Square. Everything is FREE…all you need to bring is yourself and a lawn chair. Time: 7:00 to 10:00 p.m.

We have a wonderful line-up of very talented singers and musicians who will be bringing us a wide variety of music including country, show tunes, contemporary, contemporary Christian, light rock, oldies, and easy listening. (The performers are enthusiastic about coming and there will be “something for everyone”…)

Enjoy performances by Rick Catching, Patton Crossfield, Laura Davis, Amy Domidion, Shelley Giacomini, Spencer Glacken, Jessica Johnson, Christa Osborne, Melvin Price, Donnie Ray, Byron Teater, and Dan Waters.

The Steppin’ Stones Dance Club from Harrodsburg will entertain us with some fancy steppin’ line dances, and then later lead simple line dances, inviting audience participation.

The Garrard County Band Boosters will be serving ice-cold lemonade. (With school just starting this will be a good opportunity to talk to a Booster and find out what they do to help our award winning 99-member high school marching band. Some band members will be there too. Ask them about this summer’s band camp and their exciting new fall program.)

Our new Farmers National Bank will be serving delicious all-beef hotdogs. (We really appreciate the bank coming to our party and this will give us a chance to give them a great big Garrard County welcome!)

What about dessert? Solid Waste Management will be serving ice cream and cookies.

The Band Boosters will also be doing face painting. And, we’ll have corn bag toss games and ladder golf.

If you have not signed up to win the one night’s stay at a Kentucky State Park Lodge of your choice to be given away at the G. C. Rural Heritage Festival at 7 p.m. on September 8th, you can do so when you pick up your ice cream. To qualify, all you have to do is make a commitment to help beautify Garrard County and support no littering. (There is only one entry per person. All those who signed up for the June 1st drawing are already entered.)

The Party on the Square is sponsored by the “I Love Garrard County” Beautification and Anti-Litter Awareness Campaign in conjunction with G.C. Solid Waste Management, G.C. Fiscal Court, City of Lancaster, Farmers National Bank, The G.C. Band Boosters, Lynco Foods, T.E.A.C.H., Poor Ridge Productions, Tudor Printing, McDonalds, First Southern National Bank, Foley & Norton, and many individual G.C. citizens.
