A reminder that today is Churdan Day and there’s lots happening in the small Greene County town.

The morning festivities include a 5K fun run/walk at 7:30am, along with the 3-on-3 basketball tournament and vendor fair at 9. Then at 10am is the parade, followed by inflatables and a vehicle show at 11am. The Town and Country Band will perform at noon and there will be a sand volleyball tournament as well. 

The afternoon includes kids games from 2-4pm, the Churdan Library’s quilt show and bingo from 1-4pm. A beard contest begins at 4pm and co-organizer Libby Towers jokingly explains how they were able to include such a contest.

“Yeah Nate Byerly is you know him that’s something new he decided to put together. I kind of think Nate is just looking to win a prize for his beard. But definitely challenge anybody to come in and kind of show off the beard and see what kind of beards we can get.”     

Barrel Smoke Concessions will be available starting at 4pm, followed by the Churdan Fire Department will host a beer garden with live musical entertainment with Jesse Wilson from 8-11pm and there will be fireworks at dusk.
