Warden Community Days coming Monday

Labor Day will see the town of Warden celebrating its Community Days with a pancake breakfast, a parade, and an afternoon of music, fun, and games in the city park.

“We expect about 2,500 people to come, and we have vendors coming from as far away as Wenatchee,” said event coordinator Kayla Kight. “There will be all kinds of events.”

The town begins its celebrations with a pancake breakfast at 6:00 a.m., followed by a volleyball tournament in the park at 9:00 a.m., and then an hour-long parade. Beginning at noon, there will be “Fun in the Park” at the corner of Third and Maple featuring music, food, crafts and games.

According to Kight, one of the featured musical acts this year is Grupo de Danza Folklorica, a Mexican folk dancing troupe.

Warden Fire Chief Randy Wiggins will be this year’s grand marshal.

The weekend festivities will also feature a movie night and game night at the Warden Community Center on Saturday, Sept. 3, beginning at dusk.
