The stars are aligning for a bang-up Bronson Day celebration Saturday.

The weather forecast is for sunny skies and mid-80 temperatures, and the Bronson Ruritan Club has scheduled what President Dave Mathewson thinks is the most inclusive and varied event in its 44th year. Virtually all of the club’s 22 members — 10 percent of Bronson’s 223 residents — will be busy from shortly after daybreak until well after dark.

A couple of highlights: 

— The parade will start at 11 a.m., with Joyce and David Wilkins as grand marshals. A float will carry veterans, and the procession also will have music, tractors, cars, motorcycles and bikes.

— Horseshoe pitching — Mathewson’s baby — will run from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., with cash and Kansas State Horseshoe Pitching badges as prizes.
