The Guy Sports Committee is ready to celebrate one of the region’s key industries at this year’s Guy Farmers’ Day on June 20.
“There will be events for all ages,” says Guy Sports Committee president Wendy Tokarz.
“There will be baseball, candy drop, show n’ shine, root beer jug and so much more.”
Guy Farmers’ Day will be held outside of the Guy Community Hall, keeping a long-standing tradition of celebrating agriculture in the Smoky River Region.
“The event brings everyone together to connect and hangout,” says Tokarz.
“It also showcases all our little community has to offer,” she adds.
The event will be held from 2-11 p.m. Tokarz asks people from throughout the region attend the function.
“Recognizing farmers is important because they work extremely hard to supply food,” explains Tokarz.
“They play a huge part in the world. Recognizing them helps show we care about their hard work.”
Tokarz says there will be two food trucks on site, as well as an ice cream and beverage truck.
“People should come out to the event to enjoy, socialize, and make memories,” Tokarz says.
“There will also be a baseball tournament with six teams for people to watch at the hall grounds.”
She adds the candy drop – an attraction that kids of all ages love – will be held at 2:30 p.m. at the ball diamonds.
Small businesses, artisans, and other crafters who would like to be part of the mini-market can also call Tokarz to reserve a table to sell their goods at the event.
More information about the event is set to be available in upcoming weeks. Tokarz says to follow their Facebook page Guy Community Hall or to phone her to register for the baseball tournament or a vendor table at (780) 837-7224.
There will be live music in the beer gardens from 7-11 p.m.
Tokarz urges everyone to attend the Guy Farmers’ Day. She says it is a great opportunity for people to catch up with fellow community members and to celebrate the farmers in the region.
