Upcoming Youth Days will be New Berlin's 50th
NEW BERLIN – The New Berlin Youth Days will be celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, Aug. 25-27, on the grounds of Milford Academy in downtown New Berlin. According to Youth Days Committee President Larissa Hanslmaier, this event is a good way to finish New Berlin’s summer season.
This year the event will host many popular activities from past years, but will also introduce some new elements such the Chobani Inaugural 5k Unadilla River Run and 2k walk on Saturday. According to Hanslmaier, Agro Farma wanted to become involved and to do something that would help celebrate the 50th anniversary. Alexis Robinson, who has been working in the activities department at Agro Farma, said although the run is new for the company, everything has been going very smoothly.
Hanslmaier explained that the Youth Days isn’t all about carnival rides.
“We want to focus on exercise and promoting healthy kids,” she said. “It’s a community event that provides many things to do.”
The event will kick-off on Thursday, Aug. 25 with the Miss Youth Days Pageant, which divides the girls up into three age groups. The food booth will also be open and there will be a free gospel music concert.
Friday night, Aug. 26, will mark the opening of the rides, a musical performance by Country Limits and a fireworks show – but according to Hanslmaier, Saturday is the highpoint of the weekend.
“The biggest thing is the parade,” she said. However, leading up to the parade there will be a treasure hunt, hands-on demonstrations at the fire house with the fire engines and ambulances, and performances by Hailey and Shawn, and Kaitlyn Jackson.
“There are many local organizations and people participating,” said Hanslmaier. “And all of the money that is made will go back to local fundraisers and youth programs.” SADD, FSA, Future Farmers and youth sports organizations are just a few of the programs that will benefit from any money made at Youth Days.
There will also be a raffle on Sunday with free tickets given for each non-perishable food item brought in – all donations will be given to the Unadilla Valley food pantry. The prizes will be one girl’s bike and one boy’s bike.
“We always try and have fun ... without costing a lot of money,” said Hanslmaier.
