Big crowds expected at Founder’s Day

An ideal late summer weekend could provide record crowds to this weekend’s signature celebration in Tyrone.

Town Manager Barry Amos said today’s event-filled day has a little something for everyone.

“We start the day early with our road race and keep it going until the end of the day with a huge fireworks show at Handley Park,” he said.

Earlier this week, the carnival opened, and an ice cream contest was held. For a complete schedule of today’s events, see Weekend.
