“To add value to each event there are special themes associated with each month’s event. May is the Celebration of Mothers. In June we will have PawFest at Market Days with a Celebration of Pets. July will be held at the Salute to Freedom on July 4^th from 5 p.m. – 10 p.m. August is always a big event with the Back to School Bash and Cusumano’s low cost produce stand. Also held at the same time at the park are the Drug Court Coalition’s Hand Up Summit and Central Christian Church & Mrs. Linola Spann’s Backpack Block Party.  In September, Market Days will celebrate its season Grand Finale as they welcome visitors from all over who will be in town for the Cedarhurst Art & Craft Fair and the Midwest Light Sport Aircraft Expo.
