There'll be dancin' in the streets Thursday at Patriots Park, fireworks Friday at the Mountaineers football game, and music, dancing and more Saturday. All October Fest 2000 fun is sponsored by the city, he said. It's all free, and will be a good opportunity to enjoy entertainment, visit with friends and just have a real good time.
People work real hard and pay their taxes.
They deserve to relax and let's have some fun and enjoy it. Thursday's street party is scheduled from 5 to 8 p.m. around the Gazebo. Ellis Noell, the city's special events director, is encouraging people to bring lawn chairs, blankets and picnic baskets. On Saturday, musical fireworks erupt with the Battle of the Bands from noon to 5 p.m., also at the Gazebo. Music continues on a non-competitive basis at 8 p.m., when The Fantastic Shakers play in the City Hall Amphitheater, at the corner of Gold and Cherokee streets.
