From Tamworth Recreation Director Jeremy Phillips: “We expect a busy weekend in Tamworth with the race, the Farmers Market and Family Day, so please plan ahead. Parking will be limited near town. Thep arade route will be closed to traffic from 11 a.m.-noon. The Family Day area will be closed to vehicles until 2 p.m. With the heat hanging around, be sure to drink plenty of water, wear sunscreen and bring a few snacks — especially if you’re planning to stay for the day.
