Hartsel Days is going to be bigger and better then ever! Guaranteed.

We are having our traditional pancake breakfast 8 am (Sunday) and Money Mountain for the children.? There will be a pet parade 11 am (Sunday) and costume contest for the children. And as always live music and the world famous parade with water works of course.
