Text Box: The 64th Annual North East Firemen’s Cherry Festival, beginning on July 14th is guaranteed to be one of the best yet! With the midway style rides, the delicious cherry pies, “almost famous” firemen’s sausage sandwiches, homemade fries and fun for all ages! Cherry Festival is as much a part of summer for many as Smith’s Hot Dogs on the Fourth of July. Many people come to the North East area in mid July to enjoy the festivities. For the fourth year in a row, Midway Rides of Utica will be providing safe, fun rides for kids and adults of all ages! We will be offering a nightly Ride-a-Rama deal, at the presale cost of only $14 each. The presale tickets are available at Dairy Queen, all branches of the Erie General Electric Federal Credit Union, Grape City Beer, Sanders Markets, Stateline Grocery, Valone’s Brooklyn Grocery and Welch’s Federal Credit Union until Saturday, July 11th, 2009. Can’t make it to the presale locations? The tickets are available on the festival grounds for only $16. Disclaimer: All sales are limited to session hours, NO CARRY OVERS! All rides are weather permitting.
