Games for children of all ages were played in the park on Saturday afternoon between the parade and ping pong launch, drawing dozens of Tilden families.
There were also small prizes for the children to win from playing the games. Here are some photos from the afternoon. Tilden's annual ping pong launch brought youth out in droves on Saturday afternoon to college balls distributed by a former pumpkin chunkin launcher.
The balls were marked with various symbols and were quickly turned in for cold hard cash following the launch, which was for two age groups 3-6 and 7-10, on the baseball field. The annual Quilt Show during Tilden Prairie Days again offers some outstanding pieces. The show continues on Sunday afternoon from noon until 2:30 p.m. in the Lied Auditorium in the library.
Here are some of the quilts on display. Visit the show for more details on each quilt. How do you gets to quietly walk in a circle for an hour or more? Offer them a chance to win free cake — at 10 cents a cake.
Tilden's annual Cake Walk helped raise money for Little Lambs Day Care and gave away lots of cakes on Saturday afternoon. The Prairie Days car show lined the street of Tilden on Saturday afternoon not only with cars but lots of car enthusiasts.

Few seats were available Friday as The Tilden Bank hosted a community hot dog feed between the bank and Thriftway Market.
Hundreds of people enjoyed the free lunch as the bank thanked the community for their business and patronage. The storefronts and streets throughout Tilden are lined with flowers, just like they always are for the annual Tilden Prairie Days.
A longstanding tradition in the community is decorate the community with flowers for the celebration, and people from around the county area are encouraged to stop by and enjoy the flowers. For a look at events, click here. |
