Plenty of food and fun will be available on Saturday, July 28, in Grand Junction at Lincoln Highway Day, formerly known as the annual Fun Day.
Grand Junction Horizons will serve a noon meal at the Presbyterian Church corner (East Hager and 12th Street). The meal will be prepared by the Larsen family. The menu is pulled pork sandwich, baked beans, chips, bar and drink. Cost is $5. Picnic tables will be set up under the shade trees on Hager Street at the Sports Court. The Town and Country band will perform during the noon meal.
The meal venue switches to the other side of the Sports Court area in the evening as the Methodist church is the location for the annual Lions Club dinner and Methodist Church ice cream social at 5 p.m.
The
Lions Club will be serving the supper in the parking area on the west side of
the church. The ice cream social will feature the Methodist’s signature
homemade ice cream and pies from the Lincoln Highway Day pie contest. Pies are
to be delivered to the Methodist Church in the morning between 9 and 11 a.m.
Winners will be announced at the LHD Auction in the afternoon. The pies will be
judged in adult and junior divisions with cash prizes awarded.
Pie and ice cream will be served in the Fellowship Hall and kitchen in the church’s lower level with seating available in the hall and in the church parking area.
The fun gets underway early with the annual Fun Walk at Karber Field at 8 a.m. The Naked Ladies Garden Club is back again this year but in a new venue. Due to the remodeling and construction project at the school building in Grand Junction, the Naked Ladies have moved their event from the Rain Garden on the east side of the school to the Sports Court.
The Naked Ladies will offer food and fun at “Bedknobs, Broomsticks and Breakfast” from 9 to 10:30 a.m. The event will feature a display of quilted items, aprons and linens. Club members will be serving big muffins, fruit and beverage for a free will offering. They will also be selling their muffin cookbooks.
Plans call for the annual auction to begin as a silent auction prior to Lincoln Highway Day with bidders getting their final chance at the 2 p.m. auction in the Sports Court area. Special auctions items this year are East Greene memorabilia.
The Grand Junction Library trustees and staff are planning fun games for kids at 3 p.m. on the “Town Green,” the green space on the north side of Main Street between the bank and 13th Street. Games will feature fun noodles. They will be used to make hurdles to jump over and through and taped together into circles for throwing and jumping.
Fun for older kids includes a 3-on-3 basketball tournament at the Sports Court at 3 p.m. Grand Junction Municipal Swimming Pool will be all day with free admission.
The Off the Track Players will present two performances of the one-act play, “Fine Dining,” in the First Presbyterian Church fellowship hall. Curtain times are 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. A cribbage tournament will get underway at 6 p.m. in the St. Brigid Parish Center at Hager and 15th Streets.
Grand Junction Fire and Rescue will be hosting other fire departments in a water fight competition on Main Street at 1 p.m.
Other Lincoln Highway Day events in Grand Junction include an 11 a.m. parade on Main Street, vendors on Hager Street, petting zoo for kids, a classic car show, open admission to the Kennedy Museum, an open house at the newly opened Lincoln Highway Building in the former Watts Building, East Greene alumni golf event at Lakeside, and the All-East Greene Reunion at Fergs/My Tighes.
