Growing in popularity each year, the Chokecherry festival is attended by close to 5,000 people. The day starts with the Kiwanis Club serving an outdoor breakfast at Main Street and Second Avenue. On the menu is pancakes, served with -- what - else -- Chokecherry Syrup.
From a Chokecherry pit-spitting contest to art & craft booths, a 5k and 1 mile run/walk. Chokecherry culinary contest, children activities, free entertainment, the day is literally packed with fun things to do. Also included is a classic car show.
