Half Moon Park in Wells will be filled with fun activities for everyone to enjoy during Wells Kernel Days this weekend.

Be ready for a long race as it&8217;s the last tractor across the line to win in the slowest tractor race on Friday. This is the second year they have done this race.

&8220;Not many people have seen that before,&8221; said Executive Director of the Wells Chamber of Commerce Andrea Neubauer.

There will be a special tribute to the troops in Iraq before the fireworks on Friday night.

Humorist Al Batt will speak on Saturday at the Bevcomm Stage. Following Batt will be the spotlight dancers and a talent show.

Also on Saturday night will be a teen dance. According to Neubauer there were over 100 teens in attendance at the teen dance last year. For the adults there will be a firemen&8217;s street dance on Main Street.

&8220;They are good family things,&8221; Neubauer said said of the events at Kernel Days.
