Visitors can take horse-drawn wagon rides, and the historic Wabash Depot will be open to visitors through the day. <\/p>\n
On the hour, beginning at 11 a.m., the stage set up near the Gerald Grain Center will welcome the Henry County Chorale, the Delta Community Band, and single acts by Garry Cline and Shane Piasecki and Guest. A chicken barbecue, bingo, and a dunk tank are on tap as well. <\/p>\n
The Bell Choir from St. Patricks church near Grand Rapids will be featured in a guest appearance with the multi-community cast of The Spirit of Liberty production, which focuses this year on the 150-year-history of the community with all-time American musical hits.
