Saturday's events will begin with the Applewood Park Boosters serving breakfast as well as the "Fire 'Em Up Show & Shine Car Show" put on by Naches Fire & Rescue. Both of those events start at 7 a.m. with the Naches Parade at 10 a.m., followed by the Naches band and choir taking the stage, opening up the midway with entertainment all day including face painting, archery, fishing derby, and loads of activities. This all leads up to the annual lip-sync competition for $200 in cash prizes. Wrapping up the weekend's events this year is Yakima's own Manic Thunder Improv Troupe, complete with Naches natives Tim Hubert and Rob Messer, pictured below.
