Some candids from Wednesday in Wintersville in August are part of today's community page. The event had an animal theme -- "Dog Days of Summer," and it was a hot day to be sure.
This week's event has "Salute to Our Heroes" as the focus of the festivities running from 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. tomorrow.
Individuals serving in the military, medical field, law enforcement and other emergency response agencies are encouraged to don their uniforms or other clothing indicating their roles to be a part of a small parade. Participants are asked to come to the Wintersville Kroger at 6 p.m. in preparation for the parade that will begin at 6:30 p.m. and proceed along Main Street to the Wintersville Municipal Building on Grove Street.
Spectators and event attendees are encouraged to wear red, white and blue and to wave U.S. flags to show their support during the parade. The event also is an opportunity to bring deteriorating flags that will be collected for disposal at a future flag retirement service.
Other Wednesday in Wintersville facets include a a car cruise in the parking lot of Wintersville United Methodist Church; music by local band Deja Vu outside the Municipal Building; craft vendors; food trucks; and the Farmers Market.
It also will be occasion to promote decorating Main Street through a scarecrow beautification project with sturdy frames made available on which to create a colorful scarecrow. The cost for each frame is $50, and payment may be made at a booth near Exquisite Creations by Joel that day or from the business between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Saturday. The frames are available through Sept. 28. For information, contact Joel John at (740) 275-4380.
They'll be entered in a contest offering various awards to be held during the final 2022 Wednesday in Wintersville on Oct. 5.
The hope is to line Main Street with them and have them on display through Oct. 31.
