The 2024 Post Rock Festival, “All for Fun, Fun for All” is almost here! August 31 is the date to remember with fun events all day long.
Start the day with a 5k run or a 2k walk before the temperature climbs. It would be an invigorating way to start your day. The event is sponsored by Post Rock Fitness and begins at 8:00 a.m. A 3-person scramble at the Lincoln Golf Course begins at 9 a.m., but you can still do both events if you walk/run fast!
The annual parade begins at 10:30 a.m. down Lincoln Avenue from the east to the west, with the reviewing stand at the intersection of Lincoln and 4th Streets. It’s not too late to enter, but you had better act fast by calling Barb Hollis, local parade expert, at 785-488-6844.
Immediately following the parade, enjoy an oldfashioned cake walk at the Lincoln County Historical Museum at 11 a.m. What a sweet way to end your morning!
The Food Vendors and Beer Garden at the City Park open at noon. Choose your lunchtime fare from St. John Lutheran Church Early Risers, Curnutt’s Flame and Flavor, Paradise Eats, Samplecious Snow Cones, Sugar Dealer or VFW Post #7928. As always, the Beer Garden is operated by Lincoln Fire to raise funds for new fire protection gear.
Afternoon activities ranging from face painting to a corn-hole tournament to a variety of kids games fill the afternoon from noon to 4. The inflatables will be back as will the train, available for a $5 wristband.
The rubber duck races begin at the pool at 4:30, followed by a youth scavenger hunt. Biggie Biggs is bringing their delicious pizza by the slice at 6 with the intention of staying until they totally run out!
From 7 p.m. until 8:30 p.m. enjoy a horseshoe tournament, and a “16 and over” scavenger hunt until Steel Skarecrow begins entertaining the crowd at 8:30.
At dark we will pause for an amazing fireworks display courtesy of the red, white and blue (VFW Post #7928) before continuing the Steel Skarecrow concert until 11:30 p.m.
This event is planned every year by dedicated volunteer committee members, but it wouldn’t be possible without the aid of the sponsors!
