By Rich Wicks | Times Vedette

The annual Casey Fun Days celebration is rapidly approaching. It is set for Friday and Saturday, July 12-13, with a theme of “Larger than Life.” Stacey Wedemeyer, president of the Casey Service Club, explained that the celebration is a longstanding tradition in Casey and that some new additions have been added to the schedule.

“It’s been going on for many years, as long as I can remember,” Wedemeyer said. “The new stuff that we have going on are food trucks. Friday night, we have Los Altos food truck from Stuart, and we have wine slushies, and we have boys and girls club doing dinner downtown. That’s all happening on Friday night. On Saturday, we have wine slushies again, and we have Chick Fil-A and Kate’s Kookies.”

Wedemeyer highlighted Casey’s first-ever 3-on-3 basketball tournament and said the divisions will be determined by the number of registrations.

“We did a park renovation with new park equipment and a walking trail. We replaced one broken basketball hoop and put a new one up,” Wedemeyer said. “There will be men’s, women’s, youth — whoever signs up,” Wedemeyer said. “We’re also thinking about adding a free-throw competition and possibly a three-point competition as well.”

Colleen Conrad, owner of Tin Lizzie’s, shared that Tin Lizzie’s will have live music performers as shown below. She also stated that Tin Lizzie’s will donate a portion of the proceeds to the Casey Fire Department and Casey Public Library.
