NEWARK VALLEY DAYS  

August 8^th and 9^th 

Please join us this August for Newark Valley Days sponsored by the Village, the Town, the NV Historical Society and the Celebrations Committee.  Events will be taking place around the village on Friday, August 8^th and Saturday, August 9^th.       

Start the fun on Friday night at the NV Train Depot with music by the Ithaca New Orleans Dixieland Band.  Refreshments begin at 6 and the music at 7.

On Saturday, visit the Village Green beginning around 9 am where our vendors will have lots of interesting items for sale.  Watch for our regular NV Days band – Night Sounds –on the bandstand.  Ride a wagon drawn by magnificent draft horses around the village and visit our many other activities.  There will be the usual Noble Room art show and of course, the book sale in front of the Tappan Spaulding Library.  The annual NV Days parade will begin at 2, starting from the village barns.  We will have bands, floats, vintage cars, plenty of fire trucks and much more.  This year there will be prizes for the best floats.  After the parade, stay at the Depot and listen to the Kirby Band play, while the kids play a life-size game of Candyland and go for a pony ride.  Then moving on down to the Trout Ponds from 4-8 will be the giant inflatable obstacle course and games for the kids.  By this time you might as well stay for the Chicken BBQ and listen to Masterpiece play from 5 – 7 and Sleepyhead from 7:30 on, while you watch the fireworks at 9:30.

Quality vendors wanted:  To take part as a vendor on Saturday, please call Bonnie Sisco at 642-8228.  We’d like to see as many local wares as possible!

Join the parade!!  If you would like to march in the parade or have a float idea, please call Bonnie at 642-8228.   Any and all interested parade groups are welcome - maybe even an old fashioned kazoo band?  This year there will be prizes for floats – so, get on your thinking caps and get building. 

Volunteers needed:  We will be running another coin toss this year and need volunteers to help raise funds by “catching” donations from passing cars.  It’s great fun!  Call Barb at 642-3477.
