There will be fireworks this year but they have moved them to the rec along with the pig chases.

#14 Boom-boom on 09/13/11 at 07:43 AM

No it doesn't. They'll be loitering in their hoopties at the Buggytown carwash.

they gotta charge $10 for the street dance to cover the cost of the alcohol they will be consuming on tax payers money....

#26 anon on 09/13/11 at 02:54 PM

Yep, some of them even made it to a full 3rd grade class!!!

Mutt game, Buggy Days, NASCAR race, rasslemania...what's the difference?

#28 Old Man on 09/13/11 at 06:34 PM

You could not please some of these people if you gave them a job in a Pie Factory as a taster.

#29 Anonymous on 09/13/11 at 08:42 PM

at the rec department where the pig chase is!

#30 Anonymous on 09/14/11 at 06:14 AM

Maggot fan, Booger eating contest, Obama lover, Mama's Boy ...what's the difference?

If you click on the buggy days ad on the right, it brings up the chamber's page with a schedule for buggy days. If I recall correctly, it has handicap parking listed as being at the library.

#32 Anonymous on 09/14/11 at 07:32 AM

I am get my tent and keg set up at lamar tire tonight so I will be ready for the parade. time to get wasted

#33 anon on 09/14/11 at 08:48 AM

I don't like pie. Pie is nasty. You should give me a job in a cake factory as a tester. Nothing by thugs and hoodlums are pie testers! :) :) :)

#34 Anonymous on 09/14/11 at 11:00 AM

okay thank you

#35 rtvols on 09/15/11 at 11:08 AM

I read the parade route, what is the length 200 yards long. College drive - Summers field road to Stafford is that correct.

#36 Anonymous on 09/15/11 at 01:58 PM

It starts at Summers Field, continues up College Drive, turns left at the light between McDonalds and the Post Office, then turns left again onto Thomaston Street, and continues down to Stafford (which leads back to the field). Hope that helps. That entire area will be closed to car traffic during the parade.

...the buggy days festival.

Is it that hard to understand?

#38 fish on 09/15/11 at 06:44 PM

no fireworks this not right. fish likes buggy days do they have free tickets for dance ten dollars really to much. will they have golf carts to drive people around. we need public transportation.

#39 Anonymous on 09/16/11 at 07:11 AM

where will the pig chase be held and when?

#40 cats on 09/16/11 at 09:47 AM

I think you should get a bicycle.
