TUMBLEWEED FESTIVAL TIME IN HAIGLER



It’s Tumbleweed Festival time again in Haigler, Nebraska……

The 5th annual Haigler Fall Tumbleweed Festival will be held Saturday, October 13, 2012, on the Haigler Museum grounds south of Highway 34 and Porter Avenue. Tents, tables, hay bales, pumpkins, scarecrows, music, food, and lots of activities await your arrival. Festival-goers are encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs and come enjoy this wonderful day of celebration. There are no admission fees—just free will donations that will help fund the Haigler Cornerstone Museum projects. The festival committee is hoping for a warm, sunny day—(especially after the early snows of last weekend)—but the event will be held regardless of weather (just moved inside the buildings if necessary).

SCHEDULE OF EVENTS

Schedule of events include neighborhood garage sales from 9 a.m.-noon MDT. Maps will be available at ‘the station’ on Hwy. 34. Dove Chocolate, Premier Jewelry, Avon, and Upper Case Living Decorator sales will be held at the Golden Inn Senior Center. Tables filled with pumpkins of all sizes (plain or decorated); jams, jellies, canned goodies, and fresh baked cookies, breads, and treats will be available to purchase.  Attendees are encouraged to bring a decorated tumbleweed for the tumbleweed fence. Cash prizes will be given.

Lunch begins at 1 p.m. with barbecue sloppy joes, hot dogs, homemade dill pickles, chips, and drinks. Slices of delicious homemade pies topped with scoops of ice cream will also be served. Throughout the afternoon, live music will be performed by former Haiglerite LaVoine Smith and The Garage Bunch Band from Burlington, Colorado.  Other activities include treasure hunts, horseshoe pitching, carousel rides on the maypole merry-go-round, ticket drawings for many great prizes donated by community businesses and individuals, and the presentation of the Maypole Awards. One of the new activities this year is an open art show in the Country Schoolhouse Museum. Local artists, including students, will have some of their work on display for viewing. Artists include Bill Coe, Max, NE; Margie Chance, Yuma, CO; Charlie Mulligan, Meg Peterson, Haigler, NE; Grace Powell, Parks; and others.

At 3:30 p.m. the Tumbleweed/Spook Parade for kids of all ages (including adults) will begin in front of the Country Schoolhouse Museum. People (costumed and plain), bicycles, tricycles, wagons, pull floats are all welcome, but no large motorized vehicles,
