===Moline Crazy Days=== Crazy Days,<ref name="skyways.org"/> as it is referred to locally, is a Moline festival event open completely to the public and is always held the during the last full weekend of June at the Griffin City Park. The event starts off Friday evening with a "bean feed" consisting of ham and beans, cornbread, and all the fixings. After the bean feed, a baked-goods benefit auction is held at the same location with the proceeds used to make improvements and repairs to the local Moline infrastructure. Saturday morning kicks off with a community parade which usually consists of local law enforcement, ambulances, fire fighters, cowboys and cowgirls on their horses, farmers on their tractors, children in wagons and on bicycles, teens on ATVs, and a variety of unique floats created by local organizations and businesses, all of whom throw candy to youngsters lined up on each side of the main street. After the parade, there are many events at the Griffin Park. Local talents provide music for the crowd, and hamburgers are served by the local chapter of the Elk County Cattlewoman's Association.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://users.pld.com/millerfy/Elk%20County%20Cattle%20Women.htm |title=Elk County Cattle Women |accessdate=2014-03-05 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070516185432/http://users.pld.com/millerfy/Elk%20County%20Cattle%20Women.htm |archivedate=2007-05-16 }}</ref> The festival commences with music and games until sundown. Once it is dark, a fireworks display is put on in the field adjacent to Griffin Park and the event is concluded.
