What about the kids? Don’t worry the BSBP will have something for everyone to enjoy. This year’s Kids Zone is going to be packed with games that they can win fun prizes with. They have games that use tickets and we also will have free yard games to play. These awesome activities couldn’t be done without the help of Jenna Schwieterman and Nicole Pohlman.
Some of you may remember the good ole egg drop from a couple of years ago. Well, they are bringing it back this year. Grab a partner and join in on the fun at the egg drop on Saturday, Aug. 13 at 5:30 p.m.
The Arcanum Preservation Society will present Sh**-A-Brick 50/50 at the BSBP. During the Brick Street Block Party there will be an area on the brick road where you can choose a brick for $5 or 5/$20 where you think the Duck will do his thing. The “drawing” will be at 7 p.m. both nights.
Music at the BSBP will be Mora and the Boys on Aug. 12 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. and Zeke Wright from 9 to 10:30 p.m. On Saturday, Tony Hale & Blackwater will perform from 4 to 7 p.m., the Community of Faith Worship Band will present from 7:30 to 9 p.m. and Clark Manson will put on their show from 9:30 to 11 p.m. Sounds like a wonderful time.

“August… brings katydids, elderberries, blackberry pie, and goldenrod… August is just another thirty-one days of concentrated Summer, but it certainly gets one in condition to appreciate Fall when it comes. Good old August — we’ll take it, and some of us will like it.” ~Hal Borland
“It was August, and the fields were high with corn.” ~Melanie Gideon
