Woodbury Days 'Button of Savings' Sales Kick Off Aug. 1

Food, bands, fireworks, games, entertainers, vendors and volunteers.

Residents will find all of that and more at "WD16," better known as Woodbury Days. August kicks off the official countdown to the 38th running of the community's most anticipated event. Starting today, hopeful festival-goers can visit many area businesses offering discounts to anyone who buys a Woodbury Days Button of Savings.

The button earns buyers cheaper prices for local food, auto repairs, household supplies, services and more. It is also valid at Woodbury Days, itself, for savings on carnival rides, petting zoo admission and food at the Taste of Woodbury. Advanced button sales end on Aug. 26, two days before the festival grounds open.

"Woodbury Days is run by a nonprofit organization of volunteers and depends on the purchase of buttons and sponsorship to keep the event free and full of wonderful entertainment for everyone," the event's website says.

Those buying their buttons early will each pay $5. At the event, they'll pay $6. Family four-packs are also available during advanced and day-of festival sales for $15 and $20, respectively.

Look to the website for a list of participating businesses, as well as for information about ongoing contests and prizes leading up to Woodbury Days.
