Saturday, the place to be is downtown Conrad as the Harvest Festival, sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce, begins their activities at 2 p.m.
Main St. will be lined with 19 vendors. More than likely you can get some early Christmas shopping done here.
Two more folks have been added to the lineup for a chance to “smooch” a piglet later in the afternoon. And they would be IGA store manager Jamey Byrnes and that effervescent mayor of Shelby, Larry Bonderud.
They join an already popular lineup of Conrad characters that include CofC executive secretary Barbi “Baby” Killion, County Commissioner Cynthia “the president” Johnson, Scott “French fries” Arvidson, the silent man, Mark Leys, Conrad’s very own Mayor John Shevlin, Sheriff’s Deputy Carl “nutcracker” Suta, ITB Manager Ron “flight-line man” Cook, and those wild and crazy guys from the District 10 School Administration, school principals Craig Barringer and Greg Jensen.
You can vote for any or all of these folks at the IGA store. Ballot stuffing is not only legal, like a Chicago election, it is encouraged.
The winner of the “Kiss n’ Squeal” will be announced at 5:30 p.m. at the stoplight at the intersection of Main St. and 4th Ave.
A major attraction of the Harvest Festival of course is the Beef and Bison Cook-off. There will be seven businesses, with six of them, vying to knock off last year’s champion G&D Hardware and take away their traveling trophy.
Putting out their very best in culinary skills, trying to win your vote, will be crews from Mountain View Co-op, Farm Credit Services, Pure Bliss Cycle, Funtronics, Gary and Leo’s IGA, Stockman Bank, and Big Sky Equipment
