First Fridays in Mitchell celebrating the 4th of July

First Friday’s in Mitchell took on a patriotic theme in observance of Independence Day. “Everyone wore their red, white and blue,” said Elizabeth Luczak of Mitchell Main Street and Beyond. “And it has been a patriotic day here down at the World’s Only Corn Palace.”

Luczak said the early start time was a hit. “Food trucks enjoyed it, gives everyone a chance to breathe, eat some good food, walk this Main Street.” That hosted a car show and shine, kids tractor-pull, patriotic bicycle decorating contest as well as live music.

Looking ahead, the next First Friday’s celebration is the Pre-Sturgis Party on Thursday, August 1st.
