Wally's to host first ever Wally's Fest

For Jon Parker and James Stewart, seeing crowds of people at their restaurant Wally's is something they thoroughly enjoy. 

The two owners of Wally's are hoping to see quite the crowd Saturday, when Wally's, 727 East Main St., Greencastle, hosts its first ever Street Fest. 

Activities begin at 4 p.m. and run until midnight and feature a cornhole tournament, dunk tank, kid friendly games, face painting, a bounce house, food by Wally's Food Trailer and Don Julio Mexican Restaurant, and live music by Parker Black, Danocasters and Triggerhead. In addition, the street will be closed off to ensure safety and the restaurant will also be opened for any families wishing to eat inside, as well from 3 p.m. to 3 a.m. 

The cornhole tournament has about 15 spots left and is $35 per team. Check-in will begin at 4 p.m. and the tournament begins at 5 p.m. . 

According to Parker, the event originated out of a thought to do something for the customers and community. 

"Wally's Fest is our inaugural summer festival hosted by Wally's on Main Street and Ohio Street. We really wanted to provide a day full of family fun and bring some life back to the southside of town," Parker told The Putnam County Post.

He admits the goal is to make the event a yearly event. 

"We hope to host a Fall Fest in October as well as plan to have both festivals every year. We are excited and hoping for a great turnout," Parker said.
