Norwich firefighters host annual Field Days

NORWICH – Residents of Chenango County will have the opportunity to experience an entertainment-filled Fourth of July celebration this weekend as the Norwich Firefighters Association will kick off its annual Field Days festivities at 5 p.m. tonight, at the Chenango County Fairgrounds.
Between 2,500 and 3,500 spectators are expected throughout the weekend, which features a wide variety of games, rides, music, food, drinks and of course, fireworks, said Norwich Firefighters Association Vice President and Field Days co-chair Wayne Law, who added there is no cost of admission for tonight’s festivities, although food or monetary donations will be accepted at the gate.
While DJ Frank Goodrich will provide musical entertainment tonight, the focus Saturday and Sunday will be on live music, with performances on Saturday by local acts Hailey and Shawn, L.J. Gates, Solar Funk Society, Jason Wicks, K.T. and the Mad Dogs and Panhandle, beginning at 1 p.m.
Saturday will also see the return of the crowd favorite Car Rollover Competition at 2 p.m. with $500, $200 and $100 awarded for first, second and third place respectively, according to Law.
Events will culminate on Sunday with a grandstand concert headlined by national recording artist and country singer/songwriter Jason Michael Carroll, who said he was “excited” to perform and “it’s going to be a lot of fun.”
Carroll’s music has steadily gained in popularity since the release of his debut album, “Waitin’ in the Country,” which produced three Billboard Hot Country Top 40 Hits, “Alyssa Lies,” “Livin’ Our Love Song” and “I Can Sleep When I’m Dead.”
Harpursville-based Hailey and Shawn and Nashville recording artist Cassidy Lynn and Sundown will open the concert at 7 p.m. followed by the annual fireworks display.
Admission for Saturday and Sunday’s festivities, both of which run from noon to midnight, is $5 with no cost for children under the age of 12. For more information, or to order tickets for Sunday’s concert call 1-800-838-3006 or visit www.norwichfirefighters.com. Tickets are $15 today and tomorrow and $20 on the day of the show. Ticket holders will be admitted to the Field Days celebration for free on Sunday and tickets are still available at the Norwich Fire Station, Service Pharmacy and Hayes Office Supplies.
