West Point is in Hardin County, and the West Point River Days Festival returns to Veterans Memorial Park this Thursday, Friday, and Saturday.
“It’s like a reunion for everybody who used to live here in town,” said Festival Chair Jo Sabol. “We all look forward to seeing each other every year at the festival. It’s just something everybody from West Point always looks forward to.”
The festival kicks off Thursday with the Golf Cart Poker Run followed by Carrie-Okie. Friday features Meatloaf impersonator Joseph Williams, country/southern rock band Miles Apart, and a mullet and big hair contest.
Saturday activity kicks off with the annual River Days Parade.
“If you want to be in the parade, just come down to the old school building at 13th and Geoghegan streets,” Sabol said. “Lineup starts at 10:30 and the parade kicks off at 11. They take floats, golf carts, bicycles, four-wheelers, pretty much anything you want to decorate and put in the parade, you’re more than welcome.”
Saturday park activity opens at noon, with more live music on the schedule.
“We have Yellow Banks that go on at 3, and then at seven it’s the band C.M.N.,” Sabol said. “It’s Joe Lambert. He’s a hometown boy, so we’re looking forward to having him back. We haven’t had him here in a little while. We have a silent auction, vendors, kids games, and we wrap it up Saturday night at dusk with a huge fireworks show. People come just for the fireworks show.”
