Plans for an all-day event in late summer are underway in Riverside. According to City Administrator Rusty Rogerson, they’ve joined with the Riverside Area Community Club to put together the festival scheduled for Saturday, August 16th. He says there will be a flea market, activities for children, a rodeo and live music from 1pm to midnight.

Proceeds from the event will go toward the proposed community center. Rogerson says in the budget cycle beginning July 1st, they’ve set aside over $100,000 for the center. A donation of around $120,000 the city received from William Shatner after he did Invasion Iowa will also be used for the  project.
