waldron-freedom-festival-offers-plenty-of-entertainment-options-saturday
Nearly two months later, the Waldron Freedom Festival is ready to roar.
The Freedom Festival was postponed July 1 due to inclement weather and rescheduled to early September.
Now, on Saturday, there is a full slate of events planned and a new entertainment option added to the schedule – Waldron High School 8-man football.
The Mohawks (2-0) will kick off at 6 p.m. against Purdue Poly (0-2) and serve as a precursor event for the night’s fireworks spectacular.
At 11 a.m. Saturday, food and retail vendors will open along with the Kid Zone.
A car show follows at noon with judging and awards to start at 4:30 p.m.
The Biggest Little Tractor Pull competition commences at 5 p.m.
There will be live entertainment on the main stage from 2 to 9:15 p.m. from the Shelby County Choir, Marisa Fullenkamp, Covered Bridge Boys, Nick Fischer, Ty Hornback and Hemlock Row.
Following the football game, the national anthem will be performed by Nick Fischer.
At approximately 9:25 p.m. GIANT fm (96.5 fm, 1520 am, GIANT fm app), who will present a live broadcast of the Waldron football game, will start the musical introduction for the fireworks show presented by Premier Pyro.
