Forget about Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. This week in Ostrander, they’re all Uff-Da!

Ostrander will be holding its annual Uff-Da Days celebration form July 6 through 9.

Started in 1991 to celebrate the town’s centennial, Uff Da Days was held on and off over the years. It came back on a more permanent basis in 2012, with a date change to avoid competing with the Fillmore County Fair.

“It’s a nice small town celebration that you can spend with your families,” said Ostrander City Clerk/Treasurer Christine Hyrkas.

This year, visitors can expect games, a 5K run, a kid’s carnival, a flea market, a grand parade and a street dance, among other activities. Hyrkas encourages everyone to come join the festivities.

“There is always time to work but never enough time to spend with your loved ones!” she said.
