Good Neighbor Days Celebration � �� Barbie �� You might think that participating in the annual turtle races means just si� ing back and watching, but you’d be surprised at how much strategy and cheering is really involved! A group of dedicated volunteers works hard to ensure that Howard Lake’s Good Neighbor Days festival is full of fun for all ages. The family event takes place annually in June. Good Neighbor Days 2020 is set for Thursday, June 25 through Sunday, June 28, 2020. Last year’s Thursday events kicked oﬀ with a Queen’s Tea Party at the Good Samaritan Society, ice cream treats served at Citizen’s Alliance Bank, and a kick-oﬀ picnic dinner with a wine and beer-tasting event. The special event also included karaoke, kids games, a Howard Lake royalty presentation, and prize drawings. Friday’s events included live music by the Whitesidewalls, ﬁ reworks, sno-cones, bounce houses, food, beverages, the kiddie parade, kids’ cra� station, and PeeWee Reese and Orphans baseball games at local ball ﬁ elds. (Fireworks are moved to Saturday in the event of inclement weather.) Saturday continued with the annual ﬁ shing contest at Lion’s Park, a cra� /vendor fair and kids carnival at the MAWSECO building, farmers market, car and motorcycle show, the annual One Block Run, volleyball tournament, a Friends of the Library sale, a BBQ contest, bingo, bean bag tournament, turtle races, a HL Fire Department pork chop dinner, more live music, and the annual Good Neighbor Days Award presentation. �� 320.485.2535 �� HOWARDLAKEHERALDJOURNAL.COM | 13
