– Fireworks, a parade, historical tours and a carnival are just some of the attractions at Polo’s Town & Country Days from June 13-16. The festival was first organized in 1966 by the Polo Jaycees as a way to raise money for the construction of a city pool. “Now – 58 years later, the festival has expanded into a four-day event that is kicked off with one of the most amazing fireworks display in the area! The annual parade still closes out the celebration, and sandwiched in between are four days filled with fun for young and old,” the website said.
