Sunday- mass, crazy fun with the running of the
Red Springs Express Bed Race
Youth and the not so
youthful, pushing their
specially prepared
racing beds up over the
bridge on Inspiration Ave.
and down toward Gibson
Street in a 100 meter dash.
The race is runs in heats and
the good natured
competition between teams
of students, organizations
and service groups gets everyone excited.
Who will take home the trophy plaque in 2008?
As the 2006 official race starter, Governor Janet Napolitano did a great job. We hope she will come back again this year!
The Spree kicks off with the Parade
along Sullivan Street, starting at Bullion Plaza Museum and Cultural Center on Friday evening, followed by a BBQ Dinner and live music at Memorial Park.
The Craft Show and Vendors
will be open and so the festivities begin...
Also: a Car & Motorcycle Show, display of
Antique Gas Engines and Mining Equipment (all weekend) and a schedule of Folklorico Dancing and Music at Bullion Plaza as well as the Boy Scout fair.
Admission and parking are free. All ages are welcome. Join us for a weekend of small town family fun, food & entertainment.
