COAL GROVE — The village’s welcome mat is being rolled out this weekend.

Coal Grove’s annual Family Fun Days begins Saturday and continues through Monday evening at Paul Porter Park.

The opening ceremonies will be at 4 p.m. and will include the Veterans of Foreign Wars 8850 color guard and Chris Laber singing the National Anthem.

The Family Fun Days has been a tradition since 1977. What is it that keeps people coming back year after year?

“Probably the fellowship,” Coal Grove Betterment Club secretary Carol Gool said. “And we always have some good entertainment.”

The annual event is sponsored by the betterment club and proceeds will help pay for a new storage facility for

the village.

The grand finale will be Monday evening’s fireworks.
