Blackie Day is traditionally held in October, but has been moved to May for improved weather and longer days. The original one started in 1964. It started as a 4th of July celebration, and then it became just a festival. And there were a few years there that it stopped, and then it started back. And we usually have it in October. This is our first one in May, and we're keeping it in May. The festival will feature live music, food and craft vendors, a silent auction, and a veteran's dedication. The importance of it is community. This is probably the smallest community that has a festival, and it's all about community. We all know each other. We all care about each other. We enjoy having this so much. It's a lot of hard work, but we truly, truly enjoy it. It brings us all together, and people just love coming.
