Western Days

It's time to bring out your cowboy hats and dust off your boots, and come out to support the Preeceville Lions Club Western Days and ball tournaments.  Western Days will be held July 12, 13 and 14, 2013.

With these reasonable prices you can not miss this weekend:
   Adults $7/day or $15/3 days
   Students (12 & under) $5/day or $10/3 days
   Preschool Free

The Gymkana, Chariots and Chuck wagons will be kicking up dust for the horse enthusiasts.  The occasional exchange of friendly bets on the side by the colorful locals over the winners is always interesting to watch.

Slow-pitch and fastball tournaments are held for the athletic minded utilizing the four diamonds. Beer gardens and concessions are open to wet your whistle and calm your appetite. With the gracious donation of playground equipment and the Lions working to enhance and incorporate activities for youth, the youngsters can be kept busy.  Enjoy the amazement and excitement of the horse trick riding on Saturday afternoon.

On Saturday night you can let your hair down and unwind at the open air dance with "Against the Grain".  Sundays fun starts with a pancake breakfast and a Christian Cowboy Service.  Proven to be a fun time with something for everyone we hope to see you there!
