SUMMARY:Fun Times in Gully Planned to Celebrate our Country’s Semiquincentennial / July 2-4
DESCRIPTION:Gully is planning to celebrate our country’s 250th year of independence in fun\, interesting ways.  The long weekend begins in Gully Thursday evening July 2\, with a Whist tournament starting at 6:30 at the Community Center. At noon on Friday\, July 3\, a number of children’s activities will begin\, from a Scavenger hunt\, chalk art\, and games to a Bouncy House.

A free community meal is scheduled from 5-6:30 (July 3) at the Community Center.  Talented local musicians will entertain during the meal. Food will be served for the first 250 people. A new thing for Gully is “Local lore story-telling\, open mic”\, hosted by Ann Marie Newman. This will begin after the community meal.  Come share a story: “I remember when”\, “A funny thing happened” or “A lesson learned” may recall a story you can tell. Then stay for the Knowledge Bowl\, Trail vs Gully. With this friendly rivalry\, who will be this year’s champs? \nTop off Friday night with a street dance with the Donny Dahl Band.  Expect powerhouse vocals and high energy.  Bring a chair and enjoy the music. What better way to start the day on Saturday (July 4) than with a pancake and sausage breakfast at Lund Church. Breakfast will be served from 8 – 10 am.
