“We have always had a really good turnout from the community, and we are hoping to have as good of a turnout as we have had in previous years,” Janet Frasier, Valley Grande’s city clerk, said. “The event will mark a big mile stone for Valley Grande.”

Preparations for the event have been under way since January.

Event coordinators try to make each Founder’s Day unique, and this year proves to be no exception.

“This year we are changing things up a bit and holding the event in front of the sports complex instead of at the walking trail like it has been in past years, and we are expecting this to increase turnout from the community,” Frasier said. “The antique car show will be bigger, and we are also hoping for an increase in vendors for the event.”

The event, held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., is free to the public and will also include music from several local singing groups, food, games and arts and crafts for the entire family.

Frasier said the event offers residents the opportunity to enjoy each other and their community.

“We are excited to be able to celebrate the creation of our community with everyone,” Frasier said. “The event gives the Valley Grande community an opportunity to come together.”
