As temperatures drop to between the intense summer heat and the bitter winter cold, events in Shelby County will keep people of all ages entertained. The Shelbyville Office Of Tourism does its part to help organize and promote these events, with the aim of bringing in high attendance. The Dirt Works Mountain Bike Festival gets the latest series of events underway, with Scarecrow Daze and Balloonfest to follow.
Freddie Fry is the director of the Shelbyville Office Of Tourism. She says Dirt Works – which runs from September 19-21 – will appeal to fans of mountain biking and trails in general.
The annual Scarecrow Daze Festival sees Shelbyville decked out in scarecrows. Saturday, October 11 is the day to visit for that event, unless you’re a crow.
Overlapping with Scarecrow Daze is Balloonfest at Lake Shelbyville. It’s scheduled from October 10-12, and the first evening sees the balloons get lit up, along with food trucks and live music.
Saturday is a step up even from Friday, as there will be more special guests, vendors, and activities.
The Shelbyville Office of Tourism is located at 315 East Main Street, between the courthouse and the railroad tracks. More information is available at www.lakeshelbyville.com or by contacting them at info@lakeshelbyville.com or (217) 774-2244.
Freddie Fry appeared as a guest on the WTIM Shelbyville Morning Show.
