A week full of activities has been planned for Russell, as the community holds its annual Beef & Barley Festival.
It begins with a scarecow competition, and ends next Sunday with a car show.
Brittany Pushka, one of the organizers, goes over some of the details of the week:
"Some highlights are the comedy night with Kelly Taylor; our new event for the little ones on Thursday called the Kids Barley Bash; the annual Beef & Barley pancake breakfast on Saturday morning; as well as the cribbage tournament; and then the return of the wildly popular dodgeball tournament, which is also on Saturday. And, then we have the highly anticipated charity buckin' rodeo and cabaret."
Most of the events are free to attend, with exceptions including the comedy night, the pancake breakfast, and the Saturday evening cabaret.
