Music, music ...and more Music on Main SHEFFIELD — If you’re looking for a fun family activity that will cause everyone to leave with a smile on their face, you’ll want to head to Sheffield on Saturday, July 18, for the fifth annual Music on Main event. The festival is sponsored by Sheffield Pride. While music on Sheffield’s Main Street is the crux of this festival, the afternoon and evening holds much more than a beer tent and music. A host of new and renewed activities will encourage event-goers of all ages to get involved in the fun. The activities begin at 2 p.m., when children (adults can participate too) will enjoy a Wet and Wacky Race, where everyone will have fun with an obstacle course at Veterans-School Park filled with watery fun and pools of Jell-O. Registration begins at 1:30 p.m.; the event is sponsored by the Cornerstone Community Wellness Center. At 3 p.m., there will be water battles for the children at the Sheffield Fire Station. Later, there will also be a pie eating contest for adults and children. The winning adult will win $100, and there will be prizes for children in their respective age categories. A children’s pedal pull will also be part of the fun. The gates for the downtown Music on Main open at 5 p.m. The entrance fee is $6, and children 12 and under are free. A host of area food vendors will provide some great eats, and beer, wine and cocktails will be available. The actual music begins at 6 p.m. when the Lizzi Neal Band takes the stage with its rhythm and blues/bluesy rock and roll music. That band will be followed by Forgotten Highway, a country band that will play until midnight. The public is invited. IV Scene file photo
