Prairie Days July 16 & 17, 2010
Prairie Days, in mid-July, are two days of entertainment which vary from year to year. The event is put on by the Prairie Days committee and community volunteers.
Some of the bigger events include a carnival with rides, kiddie parade, kid games, evening dances with live music, softball games, walk/run, volleyball, horseshoes, demo derby, grand parade & fireworks.
If you work up an appetite playing or watching basketball, the Lions and the fire department make sure there is enough food on hand, including burgers, hot dogs, as well as beer and other cold beverages.
Saturday of Prairie Days features a demolition derby and a parade, with fireworks provided by First Community Bank of Lester Prairie.
An outdoor church service, followed by a matching funds breakfast are on Sunday.
Prairie Days is a fund raising project for the Lester Prairie Fire Department, Lester Prairie Relief Association, and other worthy local projects.
