The Casey Fun Days celebration is this weekend. 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.”
