Sunday to feature many activities at Florence festival
Many activities are planned for Sept. 1, the Sunday of the Labor Day festival in Florence.
A non-denominational community church service starts at 11 a.m. in Grandview Park.
Immediately after the service, a "Potluck in the Park" takes place. Participants should bring a covered dish and table service. Organizers will provide drinks. Everyone is welcome, not just those attending the church service.
The sidewalk art contest begins at 4:30 p.m. on the west side of downtown Main. Children of all ages will beautify the sidewalks.
At 6:30 p.m. the "Testimony Quartet" will perform a gospel concert downtown. A free-will offering will be taken to cover expenses.
An ice cream social in the American Legion Building, Fourth and Main, follows the concert.
The evening ends at dusk with "Fireworks Fantasia" at Marion County Lake, sponsored by Marion County Economic Development Council. The display was particularly popular last year, with cars all around the lake. Those attending the ice cream social will have time to get to the lake.
