The Veterans of Foreign Wars breakfast also starts bright and early at 7 a.m. and runs until 10 a.m.

Union City Park will be one of the popular spots to be for the Grassroots Festival. At 9 a.m. craft and food vendors will be set up there, along with the library book and bake sale.

The car show also gets going at 9 a.m.

Children can learn how to rope or enjoy the kiddie carnival from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m.

“There will be music all through the day on both ends of town,” Beverage said.

If you’re looking to show off your racing skills check out the lawnmower race at 5:30 p.m.

The fun filled day closes out with a street dance at 7:30 p.m.

“Free admission and family fun for everyone,” Beverage said.
