New Sharon’s Spring Festival began Thursday (6/9) and runs through Saturday (6/11).  Lindsey Phillips of the Spring Festival Committee says there will be plenty going on at North Mahaska High School Friday night (6/10), weather permitting.

“This Friday at the football field, we will have food trucks from 5 until 9pm.  In addition, we are going to have a petting zoo, face painting, balloons, art, shaved ice, inflatables. And everything, except for the food trucks, is available for free.”

Phillips says if the weather permits, they’ll show a movie at dusk.  Saturday’s Spring Festival schedule includes a running race, a parade at 11am, a kids’ tractor pull at 12:30 and music from the Mondeau Dukes from 6 to 10pm at the East Market parking lot in New Sharon.
