Uffda Day dawned cool and breezy as the community got moving for the 30th annual Uffda Day. Entrants for the 5th annual 5K Run/Walk took off at 9 a.m. sharp. The cool morning weather encouraged visitors to head inside for coffee, conversation and good things to eat, along with visits to craft booths and demonstrations of pioneer skills through the downtown area.

Dave and Pat Bladow organized another outstanding display of antique and classic motor vehicles that included a classic Packard sedan and a unique Lincoln pickup. By parade time, the wind went down aa little and temperature reached the mid-50s with an enthusiastic crowd along the parade route. The parade was a little shorter than the prior year, consisting of 50 units and political candidates were scarce for an election year. The American Legion Color Guard lead the parade and the hit again this year was the Aberdeen Fire Department Bagpipe Band from Aberdeen, South Dakota. The band members wowed the crowd with the wailing bagpipes and beating drums.

After the parade, the first annual Uffda Day Pedal Tractor Pull was held with competitors ranging from age 4 to well over 21 years of age. Visitors enjoyed the remainder of the day with good music, good fellowship, and good fun in the little city that can.
