GARWIN – As Americans across the country celebrated Independence Day on Friday and into the weekend, Garwin hosted its annual Freedom Days festival with most of the activities being held in the area around the city park. Highlights included the lawnmower races on Saturday morning, the Friday night parade, the tractor display and ride on Saturday, pictured with Rick Bessman, Randy Clough, Bryan Bessman and Dave Kilker, and of course, the American flag, which featured prominently throughout the weekend and was raised before the start of the 5k run Saturday morning. Kathryn Kunch, decked out in her Freedom Days t-shirt, gave the festival two thumbs up.
