The theme for the River Raisin Festival, July 9,10, and 11, is Rockin’ on the River. The theme is appropriate because the river will certainly be rockin’ but so will the parks and streets of Blissfield as the action gets underway, unofficially, on Wednesday, July 7, when the carnival comes to town. The Jules & Beck combined shows will be at 5 p.m. Wednesday and again at 5 p.m. on Sunday.
On Thursday, July 8, the pre-festival excitement continues at 9:30 p.m. with Movie Night at Ellis Park. Organizers have gotten their hands on a real retro gem, “Back to the Future,” rated PG and totally remastered in super-quality high definition. The open-air theater will be set up in Ellis Park in the vicinity of the outfield portion of the ballpark.
