In September, Milton will hold its second annual Milton Roundup fall festival — and save its birthday celebration for later.
Last year the city organized the community gala in the fall and billed it as Milton's birthday party, even though it was neither on the day residents voted for cityhood, which was in July, nor the day that the city officially came into being, which was in December.
Last year's combined event attracted more than 2,000 people. This year's festival, set for Sept. 13 at Birmingham United Methodist Church, will feature a chili cook-off among teams of police and firefighters, hot air balloon rides, a mechanical bull, music, and other family entertainment. And, of course, there will be equestrian shows as befits a community proud of its many horse farms.
The city needs volunteers to help put on the program. Anyone willing to roll up their sleeves and get their boots dirty should call Linda Blow at 678-242-2489 or e-mail her at linda.blow@cityofmiltonga.us.
