The final preparations are being made for the Union Chamber of Commerce’s first ever Union Day, which will be held on Saturday, June 16, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The Chamber board agreed to create the new event in April after plans to hold last year’s Country Day fell through at the last minute in August 2017.
Chamber President Sherry Harrison said spaces were still available for the children’s pageant and that applications could be picked up at the Union City Hall or at Harrison Dentistry. Harrison said that the planning has been right on schedule so far.
“Everything is going well. We’ve got lots of good music lined up including gospel, country and bluegrass for everybody to enjoy that day, and we’ve got some great food vendors who are coming. It’s just lining up to be an exciting, fun-filled day, ”she said.
Among the musical performers on the Park Stage will be singer/songwriter Anse Rigby of Forest, who will be performing songs from his October 2017 album “All Along.”
The car show will be just one of the events of Country Day that will be returning for Union Day and it will include The Meridian Corvette Club as well as a parade down of the classic cars, trucks and hot rods down Bank Street.
A Kid’s Zone will be downtown for youngsters to enjoy, and the chamber is still accepting vendors.
Vendor applications can be obtained by emailing udbeth2018@yahoo.com.
