ColorFest 2012

Union County's 2012 ColorFest celebration took place last weekend. Activities could be found from the top of Bald Knob Mountain near Alto Pass to the hearts of Anna, Cobden, Dongola and Jonesboro.

If you liked music, ColorFest was the place to be. There was music at the Cross of Peace on Bald Knob Mountain. There was music in downtown Cobden. There was music in downtown Anna and at Anna-Jonesboro Community High School. There was music in Jonesboro. There was music everywhere, and we're guessing that some folks were even dancing in the streets.

ColorFest featured food of all kinds. There were arts and crafts. There was a benefit auction. There was history. There were flea markets and book sales.

And, once again, there was the popular Pumpkin Town display in Anna.

It might be a bit of a stretch to say that ColorFest offered "something for everyone." But it sure would have been close.

Congratulations to all of those who helped to make ColorFest 2012 a big success.
