Family fun and excitement is the point at 5 p.m. Saturday when the Newcastle Red White & Blue Fest 2024 gets underway at Veterans Park. City Parks and Recreation Director Kyle Marks said several events including live music, kids games, pony rides, a petting zoo, inflatables, food trucks, and approximately 52 vendors will be set up for area residents.
The City of Newcastle is also sponsoring a rock, paper, scissors tournament. Marks said when people show up, they’ll receive beads of either red, silver, gold or blue.
“If you are wearing red beads, you’ll challenge someone else with red beads to a best-of-three rock, paper, scissors contest. The winner gets their opponent’s beads,” Marks said. “At the end of the night all those who still have beads will be invited up to the stage. If there are multiple people with the same color of beads, they’ll face off until only one remains.”
