Midway returning to Drayton
In the past, the midway was held in early June, but this year it will be held on the last weekend of the month, from June 23-26. Dylan Fulks, the president of the Lions Club, says that while the date is different, there are a lot of other activities going on that it can tie into. With school letting out on the 24th and the Community Foundation’s street party taking place on that same Friday, Fulks feels like there will be a good turn out at the midway.
