Downtown festival tradition continues 

BY LAURA WILLIAMS

Project Revival will be hosting an Independence Day carnival at the West Milton Municipal Park, 

July 2-4 from 5 to 10 p.m. The carnival will provide rides, including a Ferris wheel, spinning bears, a scrambler ride, and a big slide. Ride tickets are $1.25 each or 20 for $25. Armbands are $25.

Classic carnival games such as balloon dart games, ring toss, and coin pushers are always a big hit.

The Lions Club will again host Bingo on the 2nd and 3rd from 5 to 10 p.m. and on the 4th from 3:00 to 9:30 p.m. You can win a variety of fun prizes, such as stuffed animals, money, or even a pet goldfish.

On the 4th of July, many food trucks will join the festivities and park at the lot on top of the park’s hill. The trucks include Timeless Taco, Kona Ice, Delk’s Ice Cream, Stillwater Kettle Corn, Buckeye Burgers, Clark’s Pizza, and Lee’s Root Beer.

At 11 a.m., all are invited to come together for the annual Independence Day parade. It will be full of excitement with floats from churches, the Milton Union Alumni band, and small businesses. The carnival runs from 11a.m. to 11 p.m. on the 4th.

Grab a blanket or a safe place to park your vehicle for the incredible fireworks show that begins at 10 p.m. West Milton might be a small town, but it has a lot to offer the community and its neighbors not only on Independence Day but all throughout the year.

Please consider donating to the buckets at the top entrance to the park for fireworks expenses. This event is only possible through the community's donations.
