NEW LONDON, Mo. â New London Park Days marks its 35th anniversary Friday and Saturday as the community tradition returns to the Ralls County Courthouse grounds in New London.
Jayme Lane, New London Park Days president and entertainment chair, said board members spend an entire year to plan for the next yearâs event, but they got off to a later start due to the cancellation of the 2020 event for safety amid the COVID pandemic. The delay didnât stop the event from coming together successfully with a blend of crafts, entertainment for all ages, live music, refreshments, contests, a parade and other types of activities for the whole family.
