Plan to have some fun in Churchville on Saturday, August 16. The Greater Churchville Riga Chamber of Commerce, along with the Churchville Lions, Village of Churchville, and Town of Riga, are planning a day-long Churchville SummerFest.
There will be a full line up of activities that day beginning at noon and ending with a fireworks display at dusk. Everything will take place on Buffalo Road across from the caboose. Parking entrance is on Park Road.
Music will be provided by three bands, all with Churchville-Chili connections. Members of “The Transport” partner up with special guest keyboardist Ryan McNally to play a high variety acoustic show of rock and pop hits from all eras. They will play from noon to 1:30 p.m. “Beggars Will Ride,” a father/son band with guitar and sax who will play music from as far back as the 50s, will perform from 3 to 5 p.m. High Low Jack will entertain from 7 to 9 p.m. They bill themselves as a Classical Rock-jam Americana Fusion Band.
In addition, there will be a craft and vendor show, antique tractor display, and non-profit information tables.
Kids can enjoy bounce houses, games, facepainting, soccer and dance workshops, and mingling clown/magician Lewis St. Andrew (5 to 7 p.m.). Watch for more information on times and signups for the workshops.
Food selections will include the famous Lions Chicken BBQ, along with other favorites of pizza, hots, hamburgers, sausages, and other festival fare.
