The preparations for the event start almost immediately after the fun comes to an end each year.

It's about a 10-month process between scheduling bands, prepping food and dealing with the rides company. The village graciously donates the park each year to have this event.

On Friday the homecoming was rained out due to storms in the area. The rest of the weekend had perfect weather.
