Parnell Duck Days will be held July 6th through 8th this year. This year, the celebration will be extended to three days.
On Friday afternoon starting at 2 pm, there will be a “Remember and Reminisce” about Parnell, an event held in the Parnell United Methodist Church. The Bateman Family will host, and pictures and memorabilia are appreciated. Snacks and appetizers are welcomed.
On Saturday night, the NEN Sophomore Class will sponsor the family-friendly movie, “Little Rascals” in the Parnell Park. Popcorn and drinks will be served. A fireworks display will follow, provided by the Parnell Volunteer Fire Department. There will be music and a beer garden in the east park, which will be served by Burny’s.
Sunday will start off with a church service provided by the Parnell United Methodist Church at 10 am. At 11:30, there will be a parade, organized by the local 4-H chapter, followed by Tribe Mic-O-Say. Cory Cronk and the Outlaw Creek Band will provide live music throughout the afternoon.
Steve Mullock will organize the Shine and Show Car/Tractor/Truck/Motorcycle Show, which will take place in the east park. Each of the NEN classes from grades 7-12 will sponsor a fundraiser/activity along with Boy Scout Troop 131 and the Cub Scouts. The School PTO will provide a free bounce house for kids. The Legion Auxiliary will have a booth, and vendors are welcome. A Kids Pedal Pull will be held in the afternoon, with prizes and awards planned. There will be bathtub races, pony rides, an obstacle course, a dunk tank, slip and slide bowling, balloon darts, and chances on the winning duck.
