Bristol Progress Days set for July 7-9 – Kenosha News

BRISTOL Construction along Highway 45 in Bristol will require people to take an alternate route to Bristol Progress Days July 7-9, but has otherwise not affected the event, organizer Carol Nichols said.

Everything is going on as planned, Nichols said.

From Highway 50, Nichols said motorists should go south on 184th Avenue (Highway D), west on 83rd Street and south on 198th Avenue to the park.

While the parade, 80 units long, is staged west of Highway 45, the route will still be able to follow its traditional route east on 82nd St., south on 199th Avenue, east on Highway AH, and south on 198th Avenue.

We always have a huge turnout for the parade on Sunday, Kopczynski said. People really love it.

The event simultaneously kicks off Friday with the annual Banquet at Parkway Chateau and the carnival and softball tournament at Hansen Park, 8600 200th Ave.

Tickets for the banquet which must be reserved by July 1 by calling Nichols at 262-857-2447. Cost is $20 for adults and $11 for children ages 7-11. Children under age 7 are free. Miss Bristol, the Outstanding Citizens and the Outstanding Junior Citizens are named at the banquet.

The number of live bands performing at the event has been increased to include five groups over three days.

They are going to put on a great show, music organizer Kris Sampson, said. People will be singing along.

Resistance, a rock band out of Racine, will perform Friday. Audiowise, a rock cover band, will open at 8 p.m. Saturday for In The Stix, a modern country group that will take the stage at 9:30 p.m. Blue Hotel will perform at 2 p.m. Sunday, followed by Trip, a Kenosha-based band, at 6 p.m.
