Attendance was strong even though it was hot. The Broiler Festival received no rain this year, a rare occurrence that helped raise attendance numbers.

5,700 barbequed chicken dinners were cooked to perfection and served over two days at this year’s Broiler Festival.

The car show was a huge success. Thank you to Table Rock Community Bank for sponsoring the event.
