Peach Days in Ferron was the traditional week-long celebration, commencing last Tuesday with a fun run at the library. Wednesday evening, starting at 6 p.m., was the bike ride at the Mayor’s Park.
On Thursday, a dessert contest and Sidewalk Picasso were both held at the Mayor’s Park. That same evening, bingo took place at the church on the hill. Dinner was served at the Mayor’s Park and fireworks at dark were Friday’s activities.
Saturday was a big day, full of fun and celebration for everyone. Always held in memory of 9-11, the Field of Flags started at 7:30 a.m. and paid tribute to veterans. At 10 a.m. one of the largest parades in Emery County for many years started at the care center, then continued to Main Street and ended on Canyon Road (First South).
During the morning, the firemen also hosted a breakfast at the firehouse. Bounce houses and vendors were stationed at both parks all day for the many visitors. A car show filled First East and the old-time favorite, horse races, was back at the fairgrounds during the afternoon. A color dance and game show concluded the festivities, marking another successful Ferron Peach Days.
