There are several new activities on Saturday this year, Brundage said, including free bouncy houses – one for toddlers and one for older children – from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.
there free kids activities are set for 2-5 p.m. and include goat drop bingo, money scramble, a water balloon toss, and water balloon dodge.
While the Kiddie Parade will head down Main Street at noon like last year, the grand parade has been moved up from Saturday evening to 1 p.m.
“Regarding the parade, I’m trying to locate and have as many as possible [Century and Heritage Farm] owners represented,” Brundage said of the grand parade. “Also the only Clutier family-owned business for more than 100 years – Cizek Manufacturing owned by Delane Cizek of Toledo – and the newly chosen 2023 Tama County Fair Princess, Emily Hulme of Clutier.”
Any Century or Heritage Farm family is welcome to be a part of this year’s parade, Brundage added.
Later that evening, a free concert by the Des Moines-based band Radiotrain will take place from 7-10 p.m.
