Wonder Shows Midway is coming back to Altona for our Downtown Summer Kick Off June 24 & 25 from noon to 11:00 pm each day. Part of 2nd Street NE and 4th Avenue NE as well as most of the Altona Mall parking lot will be closed to accommo-date the Midway set up.

As a special treat, we invite the pre-school age kiddies to come out from noon to 4:00 on the 24th for their time with the rides.

Listen to Country 88 and The Eagle for your chance to win a Ride Wrist Band too.

Thank you to Sarah Braun for organizing a Vendors area within the Mall as an additional attraction. We also encourage Mall Merchants to prepare sidewalk sales, information and/or events for customers outside their stores.
