Fun Times in Gully Planned
to Celebrate our Country’s Semiquincentennial
July 2-4th
Gully is planning to celebrate our country’s 250th year of independence in fun, interesting ways. The long weekend begins in Gully Thursday evening July 2nd, with a Whist tournament starting at 6:30 at the Community Center.
At noon on Friday, July 3rd, a number of children’s activities will begin, from a Scavenger hunt, chalk art, and games to a Bouncy House. There will even be horse and wagon tours of Gully for all ages.
Bingo enthusiasts may try a new twist with Music Bingo at Shorty’s from 2-4:00 pm. The host plays music and players look for the title on their cards.
A free community meal is scheduled from 5-6:30 (July 3rd) at the Community Center. Talented local musicians will entertain during the meal. Food will be served for the first 250 people.
A new thing for Gully is “Local lore story-telling, open mic”, hosted by Ann Marie Newman. This will begin after the community meal. Come share a story: “I remember when”, “A funny thing happened” or “A lesson learned” may bring to mind a story you can tell.
Then stay for the Knowledge Bowl…..Trail vs Gully. With this friendly rivalry, who will be this year’s champs?
Top off Friday night with a street dance with the Donny Dahl Band. Expect powerhouse vocals and high energy. Bring a chair and enjoy the music.
What better way to start the day Saturday than with a pancake and sausage breakfast at Lund Church. Breakfast will be served from 8-10 am. This will give just enough time to be ready for the big parade!
The parade line-up begins at 9:00, with starting time at 10:30. All types of entrants are welcome in the parade. Cash prizes will be given.
After the parade the celebration moves to Trail for the rest of the weekend. There, a full range of activities are planned from Saturday afternoon through Sunday. Fireworks will again be a feature for Trail beginning at dusk Saturday night.
