Lowry Days starts early this year


It's a little earlier than usual, but Lowry will be taking center stage this weekend for the Fourth Annual Lowry Days.

While the lineup has been condensed a bit from years past there will be no shortage of activities and entertainment for people of all ages.

The festivities will kick off on Friday evening with a pork chop feed, meat raffle, wrestling at the American Legion and a karaoke contest at the Hatchery.

On Saturday, Lowry Days will boast an action-filled schedule of events from sun up to sun down. Beginning at 7 a.m., the Lowry Lions Pancake Feed and a bake sale will get underway. A softball tournament will start at 9 a.m. and an antique car, tractor and truck show will get underway on Main Street beginning at 10 a.m.

Beginning at 12 p.m., area children will be able to take advantage of a Kid's Carnival and later watch the Fireman's Water Wars on Main Street that will begin at 3 p.m.

Lowry Days will come to an eventful conclusion when the old Thyme Music band will be the first of two bands that will take center stage. They will be performing from 4:30-6:30 p.m. and will later give way to Silverado who will be playing from 8 p.m.-12 a.m.

Other events on Saturday include a chicken feed, bingo, and a chicken poopin' contest.

Next year, Lowry will celebrate its 125th anniversary and Lowry Days will expand to a full weekend of events-including the grand parade. The Fifth Annual Lowry Days is set for June 24-26, 2011.
