Olney Days Is Coming

By Noah Rosendorf ’17

It’s that time of year again. Olney Days 2015 is this weekend May 16 – May 17, and many events will appeal to all ages. The weekend kicks off with Joe’s Ride and Stride, which is dedicated to all of the families that have lost a child. The day continues with Olney’s Idol contest, in which contestants compete in different categories to become the Olney Idol. The day ends with the Fun Fair and Fireworks. The fair includes food- eating contests, carnival games, sporting contests, free cupcakes and skate board demos at the Olney Skate Park. There is also the Olney Big Band Concert before the fireworks.

Sunday begins with the Olney Days Car and Truck Show, which is followed by a performance by the Olney Concert Band. Next is the Olney Days Parade which includes a variety of community groups including local businesses, schools and fire department vehicles. The Rock the Lot Block Party will take place after the parade, and includes food, games and live music performed by rock bands to benefit Project Change.
