GALENA, Kan. — Galena residents and visitors will celebrate the 130th anniversary of the town’s founding during Galena Days, which starts Wednesday and continues through Saturday.
All activities take place in the downtown area.
The annual celebration is the Galena Fire Department’s primary fund-raiser. Fire Chief Bill Hall said that in the past year, money raised from Galena Days has paid for fire equipment and has been used as matching funds on a grant to buy a truck that is used to fight brush fires.
Hall said local churches and organizations also raise money with a dinner each night in the community room at City Hall. The dinners are from 5 to 7 p.m. each day of Galena Days, with a different organization serving a different meal each night.
Entertainment also is featured each night. Gospel singing will be featured from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. Wednesday. Krazy Kats and the Galena High School vocal department will perform beginning at 7 p.m. Thursday. Duke Mason and the Heartland Band are featured performers beginning at 7 p.m. Friday. Live Wire Band will perform at 6:30 and 8:30 p.m. Saturday.
Prize drawings also are a nightly feature of the celebration. Prizes include money, grills, a clothes dryer, a lawn mower, an electric range and a clothes washer. The grand-prize drawings will take place around 10:30 p.m. Saturday, with a drawing for a 1996 Mazda 626 and a drawing for a 2007 Kia Spectra EX or $10,000 in cash. One need not be present to win the grand prizes, but one must be present to win all other drawings.
A full day of events is scheduled for Saturday:
8 a.m. — Classic car show.
Noon — Horseshoe pitching contest.
4 p.m. — Parade.
5 p.m. — Birthday cake at the fire station.
6 p.m. — Bingo, behind the fire station.
6:30 p.m. — Live Wire Band.
