“Awesome” that’s how Crothersville Lions Club’s Red, White & Blue Fesival disrector Sherry Bridges described the past weekend annual salute to the flag.
For the 34th patriotic celebration, “The weather was nearly perfect. We had record crowds and vendor booths were doubled over years past,” she said.
She said the a greater number of volunteers providing a wider variety of events helped swell the interest and the attendance.
“The Corn Hole Tournament sponsored by the Tri-County Conservation Club pulled people in from Northern Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee,” said Bridges.
