The fun continues at the Mardela Springs Recreation Park on Railroad Ave., where there will be games, face painting, a special showing of “mini-hennies” (that’s miniature mules for those who never had the experience of watching farmers plowing with mules!), display of Vintage and Antique Cars, a great Silent Auction, live music, exhibits and vendors. And, of course!, great food – BBQ chicken, dumplings, chicken salad, roasted nuts and more! And, the Rainy Day Raffle that has been going on since January, will end with the drawing of the lucky person who wins $100! Of course, you can buy tickets if you haven’t already done so! Vendors who have not yet reserved a spot can call Vivian Calder at 410-713-9309. In the afternoon, beginning about 2:30 a Mini-concert of music played by Donna Adler on the 19th century pump organ will be held in the Barren Creek Church, built in 1842, at 110 Main Street. Several families come annually to have a “family reunion” at the Festival, and any who would like to do so are welcome!! Bring your lawn chairs and join in the fun!
All this is FREE of course. Parking will be available near the Park, on Station Street and nearby, but Festival attendees who come early for the parade are asked to park before 8:30 to keep the streets clear for the parade. For more information, email Westside Historical Society at westsidehistorical@gmail.com or phone 410-713-9309 or 410-726-8047.
