The LeRoy Commercial Club has planned another Summer Fest weekend jam-packed with activities this Friday through Sunday.

The fest has been put on for many years, committee member Patty White says.

“There’s been a celebration here for as long as I can remember,” White said. “It’s a way to bring the community together and to show some of the things we have here.”

On Friday, there’s a variety show and a bean bag tournament and Saturday events run all day, starting at 8 a.m. with a volleyball tournament to 9 p.m. music with Luke ‘N Bob Texas. Sunday will feature a grilled chicken dinner and the grand parade.

“There’s something for everyone,” White added.

The festival is a good chance for people to come and get together, especially with high school reunions. White says there’s at least one reunion every year.

About 1,000 more people will filter into LeRoy over the weekend, she said.
