ONE WEEK TO GO!

Bring the whole family for an evening packed with fun next Tuesday, August 4, 2026 from 5-8pm at Hormel Stadium. We’ll have activities for kids of all ages, including a K9 demonstration, touch-a-truck, football throw/baseball pitch booth, lawn games, face painting, over 60 local vendor booths and so much more! We are also excited to have Razor's Barbershop giving FREE haircuts!

Special guests will also be joining us, Paw Patrol and Superhero characters for pictures, plus live performances/demos by Jody’s School of Dance, Xtreme Ninja Martial Arts and Mystic Players Revival!

And of course, FREE food! Enjoy sausages from Medford’s own Bianco & Sons with only the best Piantedosi rolls, hamburgers and hot dogs from Wegmans, and nutritious grab-and-go meals from Nutre Meals. For dessert, cool off with Richie’s Slush cups or grab a treat from a classic ice cream truck.

We couldn't do it without all our generous sponsors!

It’s going to be a night to remember! See you there!
