Main Street News: July 18th

Are you new to town?  Do you enjoy gathering with friends and neighbors for some relaxation and visiting? Would you like to meet new people? The Evening at Blue Eagle Park Community Picnic is just the answer for all of you saying YES! This year’s Picnic will be held on Thursday, July 28th. This annual event is a great time for all Barnesville residents to gather and enjoy good food, and participate in family activities. This year’s Community Picnic will continue the tradition of fun with many things to do or just provide an opportunity to sit and visit with your friends and neighbors. What a great opportunity to enjoy summer and make new friends or see some old ones as we celebrate Barnesville’s home town spirit.

Our picnic dinner will be served from 6:00 – 7:30 pm with hot dogs, brats, pulled pork sandwiches. Each meal will also include chips, beans, and lemonade. We also can’t forget the infamous macaroni salad donated by Valley Care and Rehab. From 7-9 pm, the park will be alive with games, games and more games as well as numerous local organizations will be us with treats. Inflatable games are available for no charge for the children from 6-9:30 pm. There are opportunities to visit with those organizations and representatives from the Police and Ambulance Departments. We are also hoping AirMed will be able to join us this year. Stop by to learn more about all of these entities and say thank you to them for their services!

Entertainment for every age will be provided.  Double A DJ will be playing your favorite music with dancing games and activities, so bring your dancing shoes too!! We will also crown our new Princess Blue Eagle and Miss Barnesville starting at 7:30. Around 10 pm, the evening will close with fireworks over Blue Eagle Lake. It is perfect way to end a wonderful night. Bring your lawn chair or blanket and join us on the hill for a celebration for the eyes.

A special thank you for the donations and support of the event goes out to Valley Care and Rehab, the Barnesville Booster Club, Barnesville Lion’s, Barnesville Area Community Fund and the City of Barnesville. Without them this event would not be possible.  THANK YOU!

Mark your calendars for Thursday, July 28th. The Community Picnic and Blue Eagle Park won’t be the same without you!
