(Adair, IA) – The community of Adair, with its bright yellow, smiling face water tower, will be the scene for food, fun and entertainment beginning Friday (June 19th) and continuing through Saturday (June 20th). The town is celebrating “Chuckwagon Days,” as part of the lead-in to Paving the Way: Celebrating America’s 250 Years of Progress.
The Adair Chamber of Commerce is helping to make the event possible. Chamber President Cindy Grubbs says Chuckwagon Days is one of two events they sponsor each year, the other is Halloween. She says the activities really begin in earnest Friday afternoon.

The Little Miss and Mister Adair winners will be announced at 6-p.m., Friday. A bags tournament gets underway at 7-p.m., and there are DJ and Foam Parties for kids and adults, with the kids party at 7:15-p.m., and adults at 9:15-p.m.
