Wild West Day

Description

Main Street, Upper Lake....the stage is being set for a celebration of our town's heritage on the first Saturday of June. As in the past this celebration will feature the costume and beard contests, parades, The Blue Canyon Gang, good eats, live music and vendors. Included in this years' festivities will be a juggling troupe "Physics at Play" and the celebration of Upper Lake's beautiful 100 year old Harriet Lee Hammond Library.

The Upper Lake Library, now a branch of the Lake County Library, opened in the fall of 1916, and will be open 'true-to-form' during our Wild West Day celebration. To the delight of readers young and old, from all walks of life, our library will be open for information, getting library cards, a book sale and just visiting.

The Women's Protective Club, which meets at the Library the first Wednesday of each month, will be in our equestrian parade dressed in historical fashion and the Upper Lake Library Staff, Librarian Linda Bushta, will be the Grand Marshall of our floats and autos parade. This Wild West Day event is popular with the community and visitors alike thanks to an annual Pancake Breakfast served by Northshore Fire Support, the Tri-Tip BBQ prepared by ULHS Boosters and a Strawberry Ice Cream Social provided by the Oddfellows Hall IOOF#241.

So don your favorite old west attire, your dancing boots or walking shoes and join us on Main Street, June 4th for a day of western family fun, good eats, a little toe-tapping music and shopping the great variety of "something for everyone" vendors. Don't forget to stop by and lasso a little history at our beautiful 100 year old Library.
