So truly disappointed this year. I miss the old days Turkey Rama with carnival rides, street sales and the turkey BBQ. Sad loss of what Turkey Rama began as, a celebration of the turkey farms in the area. Perhaps the name should be changed to reflect this disappointment. Maybe call it the "Yuppy Wine Festival"

I'm all for tradition and am one who doesn't like change, but good grief the turkeys have been gone for decades! Hard to get excited about something called "Turkey Rama."
I would like to see it scrapped and have the entire town come together to celebrate the 4th of July. Fireworks, parade with fire trucks and American flags, carnival, games, fun run, watermelon eating contest etc etc. It would bring us all together. If there is one thing we can all unite around and agree on it's that we live in the greatest country in the world (just ask our friends to the south who risk life and limb every day to try to get here). Let's celebrate the 4th!!!

While the lack of vendors for this event was sad to see, I did love the community fair! This event has been long standing in the community, I remember when it was on 2nd street parking lots to the 4th street parking lots and was packed. It was great to see people out after being locked up for so long and to see an event. I truly believe that next year, if the carnival is able to come back as well, we will see new traditions starting with the community fair and new faces.

I would like to see it scrapped and have the entire town come together to celebrate Cinco de Mayo. Fireworks, parade with fire trucks and Mexican flags, carnival, games, fun run, watermelon eating contest etc etc. It would bring us all together. If there is one thing we can all unite around and agree on it's that Mexico is our greatest neighbor in the world (just ask our friends to the north who risk life and limb every day by eating poutine). Let's celebrate the 5th!!!
